Abstract	The purpose of this study is to investigate that the possibility of integrating grounded theory of qualitative research and structural equation modeling of quantitative research. This will suggest ways to improve the validity and reliability of data analysis, using mixed research methods and will lead to deepening discussion on the mixed research methods for practical research in fields. For this purpose, I summarized the concept of grounded theory and structural equation model. Based on the concepts and contents, I searched for three possible ways of the methodological integration of grounded theory (qualitative research) and structural equation modeling (quantitative research): Theory and model construction and verification, relation between paradigm model (grounded theory) and latent variable (structural equation modeling), and relation between open coding (grounded theory) and observed variables (structural equation modeling). The results of the study is expected to deepen and expand the level of discussion on the mixed research methods and provide academic ideas for research writing.
