  1. What sampling strategy is used and is it appropriate and justified?<\/em>
    \nRating: 3\/3
    \n<\/strong>Purposeful sampling was used for this study (Carter & Baghurst, 2014). The researchers specifically choose employees from a restaurant where servant leadership was recognized (Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455). More specifically, homogeneous sampling was used when the researchers chose participants based on a specific criteria (eg. needed to have a minimum of 5 years experience with the restaurant) (Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455).<\/li>\n
  2. Is the sample size appropriate?<\/em>
    \nRating: 2\/3
    \n<\/strong>The sample size for this quite small with only 11 participants\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455). However, given that the participants needed to fulfill specific criteria (minimum of 5 years experience working in a restaurant recognized for it’s servant leadership), the low sample size is understandable\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455).<\/li>\n
  3. Is the data collected appropriate?<\/em>
    \nRating: 3\/3<\/strong>
    \nYes, the researcher discussed in detail how they aimed to collect the data as accurately as possible\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014). To ensure familiarity and comfort for the participants, the interviews were held at the participants’ workplace\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455). The interviews were held in two focus groups; one group of 5 and one group of 6 (Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455). A total of five questions were asked and each participant was given a chance to give their input\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455).<\/li>\n
  4. Are the data gathered ethically and thoughtfully?
    \nRating: 3\/3<\/strong>
    \nYes, the authors assured participants that their responses would be kept confidential and a facilitator who was not connected to the restaurant was used for all interviews\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455). Restaurant management gave permission for the data to be collected and participants were paid for their time during the interviews as part of their work day\u00a0(Carter & Baghurst, 2014, p. 455).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
