On the merits of student‐recruited sampling: Opinions a decade in the making

Abstract: Student‐recruited sampling (SRS), which typically involves students soliciting participants from predetermined populations to assist in data collection, has become an increasingly common and important research design feature. As evidence, many of the top occupational science journals have published studies with SRS as an important research component in recent years. Supportive evidence notwithstanding, SRS has been subjected to considerable consternation – Arguments that often have taken a one‐sided, and highl… Show more

“…Second, this approach allows recruiting a more heterogeneous sample and may help to enhance the generalization of study results (Demerouti & Rispens, ). Notably, data and findings obtained with this approach are congruent with data and findings obtained with other approaches (Hochwarter, ; Wheeler, Shanine, Leon, & Whitman, ).…”

“…Furthermore, students received credit simply for recruiting people-credit was in no way contingent on the responses that participants provided, and students who could not find working adults to complete the survey were given alternative assignments for obtaining their research credit. A recent study found that student-recruited samples were not substantively different from other types of samples (Hochwarter, 2014;Wheeler, Shanine, Leon, & Whitman, 2014) and provide a more heterogeneous sample (Demerouti & Rispens, 2014;Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006).…”

“…Concerning the former, it is possible that companies, which already use schedule i‐deals as part of their HR strategies, have participated in our study to be recognised as good employers by the Foundation. It will be interesting to explore our proposed model and the prevalence of schedule i‐deals using other means of sampling, such as student‐recruited sample (Hochwarter, ). Concerning the latter, our findings can only be generalised to the 40% of the companies with official records of employment.…”
