In this article will be treated different skills for public administrators, during the process of decision making, which affect the effectiveness of their decisions, and thus will also affect the fulfillment of the objectives of the organizations they lead. The main purpose of the article is to identify the skills that demonstrate public administrators during decision making in order to define how good are their decison making process. On the basis of secondary and primary research, the authors would discuss the findings in order to identify the problems faced during these processes of decision-making public administrators

Qualitative methods are relatively scarce in public administration research. This imbalance between qualitative and quantitative methods poses three significant concerns. First, there is a risk that measurement hurdles, coupled with the distance that quantitative methodology fosters between academics and administrative practice and practitioners, focuses researchers' gaze on inconsequential policy problems. Second, and related, the causality underlying the real problems that policymakers and public organizations face are often much too complex to be captured by one type of methodology, and quantitative methods, which are by design insensitive to context, are particularly ill adapt to such task. Third, quantitative methodology is most conducive to testing already available theories and hypotheses, as opposed to theory building. We propose that the answer to these concerns lays in denouncing commitments to abstract ontological and epistemological philosophies and advancing collaboration between qualitative and quantitative researchers and version of mixed methods that transcend mere triangulation. Still, doing so would tell us little as to what problems are worth studying, and how to balance the values of theoretical generalizability and policy significance.-1

In this paper we discuss how the interests and field theory promoted by public administration as a stakeholder in policy argumentation, directly arise from its problem solving activities, using the framework for public administration problem solving we proposed in [1,2]. We propose that calls for change of policy in public administration mainly arise from model-based diagnosis problem solving.

Critical thinking is a type of systematic thinking that is used to solve problems using logic. The first step is to gather the information needed to help you solve your problem. You start by analyzing and evaluating sources for authority to give you the best shot at finding something truthful and unbiased. Watch Out For information overload. Access to information is easier than ever these days, and it is easy to get overwhelmed by it all. As you conduct your research, keep your information organized by filtering, synthesizing, and distilling it. And keep your effort timeboxed. Start broad enough to obtain a wide berth, like a fisherman casting a large net into an ocean. This helps find multiple points of view. But don’t spend more time than necessary. Practicing collecting what is sufficient to answer your questions.
