The sampling here is confined to specific types of people who can provide the desired information, either because they are the only ones who have it, or conform to some criteria set by the researcher.<\/li><li>There are two major types of purposive sampling, Judgment sampling and Quota sampling<\/li><\/ul><h5>Judgement Sampling<\/h5><ul><li>Judgment sampling involves the choice of subjects who are most advantageously placed or in the best position to provide the information required.<\/li><li>For instance, if a researcher wants to find out what it takes for women managers to make it to the top, the only people who can give firsthand information are the women who have risen to the positions of presidents, vice presidents, and important top level executives in work organizations.<\/li><li>Judgment sampling may curtail the generalizability of the findings, due to the fact that we are using a sample of experts who are conveniently available to us.<\/li><\/ul><h5>Quota Sampling<\/h5><ul><li>Quota sampling, a second type of purposive sampling, ensures that certain groups are adequately represented in the study through the assignment of a quota.<\/li><li>Generally, the quota fixed for each subgroup is based on the total numbers of each group in the population. However, since this is a non-probability sampling plan, the results are not generalizable to the population.<\/li><\/ul><div><b>Reference:<\/b><\/div><div><div class=\"gs_citr\" tabindex=\"0\">Sekaran, U., &amp; Bougie, R.
