Abstract
To acknowledge how public administration theory is constructed, the relationship between theory and research has to be addressed. This relationship is reciprocal because theory is developed to interpret and explain scientific research and, on the other hand, scientific research is conducted to test theory. Thus, the role of research is to test these hypotheses in order to refute or confirm them or to gather data, then build theory from the ground up. Scientific attempts aim to expand our understanding and knowledge about a particular situation which in turn leads to facilitating prediction and then controlling behavior (Miner, 2005).
Public administration theory is not far from the previous perspective which is about the relationship between theory and scientific research. However, it has to be said that public administration is a unique discipline since it is affected by other disciplines such as political science, business administration and social science. Therefore, the evolution of the field of public administration is intertwined with not only the evolution of public administration research but also social, management and organizational research. Denhardet (2008) points out that public administration has been viewed as a part of governmental process and that makes a theory of public organization related to studies in political science. He also states that public organizations have been considered as similar to their counterparts, private organizations and, accordingly, the public organizational theory is mostly influenced by theory of organization.
