Hello everyone!
Is it statistically correct to conduct quantitative survey via convenience sampling, without deciding sample size from the population? I would like to add here that the study is exploratory in nature.
Hello,
For an explanatory study, it is possible to quantify a sample size from a given estimation precision by relying on a confidence interval of mean.

That article should help you.
If your sample is not representative, then you cannot generalized from it. So, you need to be very careful in stating what your exploratory goals are.
