CHAPTER THREE
METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
This chapter discussed the methodology of the study. The chapter consists of seven sections. First
section, the study presents research design followed by research population including sample size and
sampling procedure. To verify the technique, the third section provides research instrument with the
validity and reliability of the instrument followed by data gathering procedures. To analyze the data,
section five presents data analysis followed by the ethical consideration of the study, while final section
presents the limitations/suffers of the study
REESEARCH DESIGN
This study was conducted by using the explanatory research design to investigate the role Public
administrators in public policy making also describe research design was governance describe the
characteristics of respondent.
The study where used cross sectional case study as research strategy because it was based on variables

municipality).
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size was consisting of 80 from local government in benadir region, to determine the best
sample size for the population, and the sample size of this study is 80 respondents.
A justification of sample size, because the researchers used. Slovene’s formula
Uing sloven formula
N=NUMBER OF PAPULATION
N=SAMPLE SIZE
E=MARGIN OF ERROR
There for in the fallowing formula we will use as 95%cinfidance level of our research .

SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
This study engaged probability sampling; the technique will be used for stratified sampling to select the
sample size. In the stratified sampling, the researchers decided who can participant the sample; the main
objective of this sample will to collect focused information. The researchers chose this method because
it reduces time and money consumption
DATE COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMANT
The research instrument of this study where used questionnaire as the tool of data collection, the
questionnaire is used in a quantitative research method, questionnaire may be defined a technique of
data collection in which each person is asked to respond to the same set of questions
in pre-determined order (Soundrs et al, 2009) and questionnaire will adopt from (Premaratne, 2002).
Which made also like this study in sri-lanka but the questioner is modified. The selection of this tool has
been guided by the nature of data to be collected, the time available as well as by
the objectives of the study and the overall aim of study is to investigate the role Public administrators in
public policy making. In addition, questionnaire techniques have been adopted in collecting primary data
as it provides and efficient way of collecting responses from a large sample size.
DATA ANALYSIS
The data on complete mixed questionnaire was categorize or code and was enter into a computer for the
Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS version 17.0) to summarize the data using simple and
complex frequency tables. The same package used to analyze by computing relative frequencies, means,
and standard deviations
VALIDITY AND RELAIABILITY OF THE INSTRUMENT
Validity and reliability are very important for research to be accurate. Therefore, the researchers of this
study used adopted questionnaire, which has already been tested by other researchers, validity and
reliability are common problems for all of the researchers. To increase validity and reliability, this study
conducted a pilot survey to pre-test the questionnaire.
After the collection of data researcher will utilize Cronbach Alpha to test the reliability of measurements.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
In the process of this study, the researchers were keep the ethical issues through the research project by
keeping the cover up, confidentiality and obscurity of respondents. To maintain ethical issue, the
researcher will request to institution’s administration to permit to allocate questionnaire and will tell
them that the information use only for academic purpose.
: LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The major limitations of this study are: the first limitation of this study is research instrument because
the instrument of this study is questionnaires only but it may be good to use other instrument like
interview. The second limitation of the study is it only focuses on public administrators, but it would be
good to test other variables such as human being resources and ecological moderating function. And
Also the language becomes another limitation because people working on the institutions are not all
educated and it through compulsory to translate the questionnaire into Somali language and then
distribute to the dependents and when collected to translate into English again.
