“…For example, the three main themes that organize our findings were arrived at by a process of first searching for patterns in frequency, setting, and types of poly-drug use, but it became clear that the meaning of poly-drug use was the most salient issue for the majority of respondents. The use of quantitative and qualitative data allowed for triangulation (Caudle, 1994;Creswell, 1994;Denzin, 1970;Hunt, Joe-Laidler, & Evans, 2002;Lempert & Monsa, 1994;Lincoln & Guba, 1985;Lofland, Snow, Anderson, & Lofland, 2006;Nichter, Quintero, Nichter, Mock, & Shakib, 2004;Rhineberger, Hartmann, & Van Valey, 2005;Van Maanen, 1988). We used the triangulation to validate our findings by looking for congruence between the quantitative and the qualitative data as well as to aggregate the findings.…”

The main objective of this paper is to explore poly-drug use among young adult ecstasy users. This phenomenon of using multiple substances within a specific time period is multi-faceted. In this paper, we focus on the various patterns of poly-drug use and the reasons for combining multiple drugs among ecstasy users. Using a mixed-methods design, we conducted interviews with young adults who used ecstasy and other licit and illicit drugs in the past 90 days. Based on the qualitative analyses, we define three distinct types of poly-drug experiences: separate, synergistic, and indiscriminate use. While separate and synergistic poly-drug use tended to be intentional, indiscriminate poly-drug use often was unintentional. These findings show the importance of recognizing poly-drug use as a common phenomenon. The findings presented here suggest areas for further research aimed at identifying risk and protective behaviors and risk reduction strategies.

“…In qualitative research, the researcher carries out a series of different activities, such as interviews, observation, interpretation of documents, and intense self-reflection (Janesick, 1994). All these activities allow to understand, reconstruct, and interpret the phenomenon of interest and, specifically, it is necessary to employ a variety of perspectives and interpretations to guarantee triangulation (Rhineberger et al, 2005).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the credit collection process in public administrations in order to develop a conceptual model which goes beyond the traditional logic of linearity, adopting system thinking approaches.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyses the case of an Italian local government-owned enterprise. Data collection through semi-structured interviews and document analysis has enabled the development of propositions, the identification of systemic variables, and the development of an explanatory modeling process based on the system dynamics approach.FindingsThis paper shows that public administrations can effectively involve external actors, especially citizens, as knowledge and public value co-creators only when considering systemic, unintended, and delayed implications of decision-making activities related to the provision of sensitive public services such as credit collection.Originality/valueBusiness process modelling should address some key fragilities of traditional modeling processes, especially in the public sector. This paper develops a novel systemic conceptual model which lays the groundwork for empirically testing business process innovation in public administrations.

“…This helped to provide a good representation of all aspects of MSMEs in the study area. Also, the triangulation of data was carried out to ensure validity (Rhineberger et al, 2005). Initially, data from MSMEs was triangulated with institutional data to understand the true nature of tax compliance.…”

In a developing country like Ghana, Micro, Small, and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the socioeconomic development of the economy. Payment of income tax by MSMEs remains one of the key sources of government revenue for development activities in Ghana. However, not much is known regarding the compliance of MSMEs with income tax administration in Ghana. Understanding income tax administration compliance and associated challenges among MSMEs could assist relevant policy actors in designing strategies to improve income tax administration in Ghana. Against this background, a mixed-method study involving 210 (200 MSMEs and 10 key informants) sample was conducted to examine the compliance of MSMEs with income tax administration in the Nkwanta South District of Ghana. The study revealed a lack of tax education, high tax rate, low level of income, and high household consumption levels as the dominant and influential factors to tax compliance among the MSMEs. The study further showed that challenges associated with tax administration include low institutional capacity, inadequate resources, negative public attitude towards tax payment, lack of collaboration between the tax agencies, and political interference. Based on these findings, it is important for policymakers and tax collection institutions to strengthen and streamline existing measures to ensure effective income tax administration in Ghana.
