Abstrakt: Purpose - This article explains the advantages and disadvantages of using deductive and inductive approaches in qualitative research. Each approach has functions and characteristics according to the research being conducted. This research explores the advantages of combined deductive and inductive methods in various research fields, from qualitative to accounting. The first article discusses the differences in generalisability approaches in quantitative and qualitative research, highlighting the use of deductive approaches in qualitative research. The following article discusses dualism in Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) and shows the advantages of combining inductive and deductive approaches. Other studies have looked at the pitfalls of both inductive and deductive methods in qualitative research. In contrast, others have detailed the benefits of approaches that combine deductive and inductive in the context of intercultural collaborative design. In addition, the article on the role of deductive and inductive reasoning in the development of accounting theory provides in-depth insight into how the two approaches can complement each other. Recent research offers practical and theoretical suggestions, including flexibility in research design and the adoption of an atheoretical approach to interviewing. By engaging these concepts, this research contributes to the holistic understanding and diverse use of deductive and inductive methods in multidisciplinary research. Methodology - This research uses descriptive qualitative analysis methods Findings - Applying a combined method of deductive and inductive approaches can increase the accuracy and precision of research results and produce more transparent and relevant findings. Thus, the use of both approaches together has the potential to significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in various research disciplines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
