行政伦理学研究方法论建构的若干问题

当前行政伦理学研究主要有三种方法:思辨推论、历史研究和调研统计。本文认为依靠思辨推论进行研究与行政学探索客观规律的目的南辕北辙,事实上不可能得出确切结论;而后两种方法各有利弊,可以相互弥合补充。但还需要根据经验资料这一研究来源来具体分析研究中的难点,再立足行政伦理学理论架构,汲取管理学、历史学、统计学等相关学科的方法论研究成果,构建新的方法论框架。

Some Issues on Constructing Research Methodology of Administrative Ethics

Currently the administrative ethics mainly has three approaches： speculative reasoning, historical study, investi- gation and statistical research. The article emphasizes that speculative reasoning is just the reverse of the purpose of science of ad- ministration exploration, which in fact cannot draw any accurate conclusion. But historical study, investigation and statistical re- search have their advantages and disadvantages; moreover, they can complement each other. However, when doing the specific a- nalysis of the difficulties, we need the source of experience material, theoretical framework of administrative ethics and achievements of the methodology of the management, history, statistics and other related subjects in order to build a new framework for the meth- odology.
