Guidance on sampling method

[Imran Beigh]

Respected Neeraj sir

I am working on leadership styles and employee happiness.The population of the study comprises teaching and non-teaching employees working in higher education institutions of Jammu and Kashmir. Should I go with mixed sampling approach .please sir mention the methods.

Since you are studying leadership styles and employee happiness among teaching and non-teaching employees in higher education institutions of Jammu and Kashmir, the choice of sampling depends on your research design. You should adopt a mixed sampling approach only if your study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods (i.e., mixed methods research). If your study is purely quantitative (survey-based), then prefer probability sampling. It is best to use a mixed sampling strategy if your study involves both surveys and focus groups or interviews.

Thanks & Regards
