I currently doing research on Factor influence career choice and I will use Slovin to determine the sample I need. How do I determine the margin of error for my research? I still in the process of collecting data. Is there any research related to this?
I suggest you follow : https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/6895018.pdf
Article Factors Influencing Career Choices
and https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1519-70772016000300393
You can read this link to determine the margin of error.

In https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_calculate_the_sample_size2, please see my responses: one on December 4, two on Dec 5, one on Dec 6, and one on Dec 7. Particularly note the strict limitations on "Slovin." It is often used incorrectly, i.e., where it does not apply.
Also, please note my response just under a day ago to https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_many_sampling_methods. That response includes a good many references.
Note also that when doing a quantitative survey with more than one question, you need to consider sample size requirements for all questions, or at least all major questions, and use the largest one. (I suppose that the procedure is similar for qualitative surveys, but I suppose you are considering a quantitative survey, and need to learn the limitations on Slovin, such as type of data and other assumptions.)
