Abstract
Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is in the spotlight as a new analytical method that overcomes the problems of traditional quantitative and qualitative research and bridges the gap between them. The purpose of study is to advance the understanding of QCA and its potential applications in future research. The problems associated with traditional quantitative and qualitative research methods are presented, as well as a comparative overview of the characteristics and tasks of QCA; the application of QCA in administrative science and the attributes of QCA, which facilitate the analysis of phenomena characterized by causal asymmetry, conjunction and equifinality. The article examines how well QCA is suitable for administrative science. The usefulness of QCA in management research and the possible direction of future application is demonstrated.
