I recruited respondents from LinkedIn after connecting with them based on profile judgement. Then, invitation letter to complete the linked survey was sent to each one. This's repeated until a desirable number of completed surveys is creached.
Is this non-probability? And what can we call this sampling technique?
Would appreciate any supporting literature. Many thanks.
Yes this is non probablistic sampling technique and called Judgement Sampling/ purposeful sampling.
Refer this literature- Sampling for qualitative research, Martin N Marshall, vol.13 no. 6, Oxford University Press, 1996.
Thanks for your reply Praheli. As I'm conducting quantitative research, do you think this sampling technique is appropriate?
Dear Eias,
You can use it in quantitative research. The decision of qualitative or quantitative will depend on your research question and not the sampling technique.
All the best.
Sería muestreo no probabilístico, supongo que invitas a los miembros de la red social linkedin particar en la encuesta en forma voluntaria,..
