    Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) has been in focus as a new analytical method that overcomes the problems of conventional quantitative and qualitative research and bridges the gap between them. In recent years, the number of studies that apply QCA in the field of administrative science has rapidly increased. This study aims to deepen readers’ understanding of QCA and its potential applications in future research. We first present the challenges of conventional quantitative and qualitative research methods and a comparative overview of the characteristics and challenges of QCA. We then discuss the applications of QCA to administrative science, focusing on QCA attributes that facilitate the analysis of phenomena characterized by causal asymmetry, conjunction, and equifinality. Furthermore, with reference to previous studies, including seminal works such as Hertzberg’s motivationhygiene theory and Fiedler’s contingency theory of leadership, we examine how QCA is suitable for administrative science. Subsequently, we demonstrate the usefulness of QCA in administrative science research and the possible direction of its future application.

    Social phenomena are sometimes not so simple. Some outcomes are produced by complex causations: they are caused by a combination of multiple causal conditions. What kind of combinations of multiple causal conditions cause certain outcomes may vary from organization to organization and society to society. Although such diverse and complex causations are interesting as subjects of analysis, it is not easy to grasp them in a reliable manner. Two kinds of trade-offs prevent us from reliably capturing diverse and complex causations. First, there is a trade-off between grasping complex causations and grasping causation through simplification. Second, there is a trade-off between within-case causal analysis, which emphasizes the knowledge of the cases at hand, and cross-case causal analysis which emphasizes comparative analysis. How does QCA address these trade-offs? Has the methodological development of QCA succeeded in overcoming the trade-offs? By addressing these questions, the present paper introduces the essence of QCA and examines what the methodological development of QCA has brought us about.

    In modern Japanese companies, employees are required to demonstrate creativity in various aspects of their work. On the other hand, in recent years, the phrase “job-based employment” has been appearing in newspapers and magazines. Based on this, it seems that the former characteristic of “mind to organization (the mind of working hard to contribute to the organization)” has weakened, and “mind to job (the mind of working hard because one likes the job) ” has been strengthened (emphasized). Based on this situation, this research focused on the above two minds and examined the relationship between these minds and creativity. Specifically, we investigated the influence of each mind on creativity and compared the degree of influence. As a result, it was found that the degree of influence by “mind to organization” was stronger than that by “mind to job”. This result casts doubts on the recent trends mentioned above, and it also suggest that companies should first improve their “mind to organization”, and then improve their “mind to job”.
