Introduction Together with qualitative and quantitative methodologies in research, the tendency to combine both qualitative and quantitative methodologies is widely used and increasingly articulated, linked to research practice and recognized as the third major research approach or research paradigm (Johnson, Onwuegbuzie & Turner, 2007). The initiation of combined methods was supported on the notion that different methodologies have always coexisted comfortably (Datta, 1994). On the other hand, Greene (2007) argued that another perspective on the development of the combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods has emerged due to the voluntary acceptance of mixed methodologies in applied social sciences, evaluators and researchers are always faced with the complex and multiple social situation. phenomena that are not easily acceptable for single frame probing. Greene (2008) further stated that the confusion of complexity requires multiple investigative tools. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the study of occupational psychology to be used to combine both qualitative and quantitative methods to better strengthen the outcome of any topic (Moran-Ellis, Alexander, Cronin, Dickinson, Fielding, Sleney, & Thomas, 2006). According to Johnson et al. (2007), the term combined methods or mixed methods research has gained dominance over alternatives such as integrative research and mixed research. The term mixed methods suggests that it is the methodologies and not the methods that are mixed. Johnson et al. (2007) provide a summary of the definition of mixed methods: “Mixed methods research is the type of research in which the researcher or a group of researchers combines elements of qualitative and quantitative research approaches (e.g. the use of… half of the document). .....egration and publications as indicators of "yield" from mixed methods studies Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 1,147-63.Rice, P.L., & Ezzy, D.
