Survey research is a method of data collection that involves asking a sample of individuals a series of standardized questions in order to collect information about their attitudes, beliefs, opinions, behaviors, or characteristics (Nardi, 2018). Surveys can be conducted in various formats, such as in-person interviews, phone interviews, mailed questionnaires, or online surveys. The data collected from surveys can be analyzed quantitatively to identify patterns, trends, and relationships among variables.

Additionally, James 1:19 instructs us to be "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." Survey research allows public administrators to listen carefully to the public's opinions and concerns before making decisions that could affect their lives. The Bible clearly shows that listening to people is important. Plus, the principles of wisdom, discernment, and integrity are found throughout the Bible and can and should be applied to the practice of survey…
