In purposive sampling, the goal is to select participants who can provide rich and meaningful data related to the research question. Therefore, the sample should be selected until completeness and saturation are achieved, which means that additional participants are unlikely to provide new information or insights relevant to the research question. Quotas may be used as a plan for achieving completeness and saturation, but they should not be the sole determinant of participant selection. Time and resource constraints or probability of selection are not as relevant in purposive sampling.
