The common practice in conducting research is to generate a sample size of the population that the researcher is looking to study by collecting data using survey sampling and determining the population standard deviation (σ) or an estimate of σ (Rhiel, & Markowski, 2017).. Having the ability to calculate the sample size for statistical analysis in quantitative studies, allows the researcher to plan ahead according with an estimate of the quantity required to conduct research, the sample size utilized when determining the statistically significant result for a selected population is found by employing a power analysis (Fugard & Potts, 2015). Additionally, the utilization of qualitative research has increasing become the tool to apply in the study of management, business, and organization studies as the volume of published qualitative research studies has increased dramatically over the first decade of the twenty-first century (van Rijnsoever, 2017). One concept that is predominant concept in the implementation of qualitative research in a research topic is that within a sample size that data must continue to be collected and analyzed until no new concepts or new codes in the analysis emerge ((van Rijnsoever, 2017). In an effort to reduce the reduce variation and increase the possibility that assessment is reasonably accurate the implantation of a larger sample size is imperative, however the utilization of sampling does not guarantee that the sampling of the population is completely accurate (Dobson, Woller-Skar, & Green, 2017). Errors are often reduced as the sampling size of a population increases and the power of the analysis improves as the size increases with in the research study (Jamali, Ayatollahi, & Jafari, 2017).
