Sufficient Sample Size to represent the population of the study???????!!!!!!!!
Dear friends, Ladies and gentlemen
First of all, I am delighted to start the discussion in this network. I hope I can learn form you. Well, I am working on the relationship between Organizational Innovativeness and Organizational Performance of Housing Developers in Peninsular Malaysia / My sample frame was driven from REHDA (Real Estate and Housing Developement Association) in Malaysia. there are 920 registered developers in all peninsular malaysia. i have managed only to get 67 responses. My study is qualitative . I used a survey. Would that be sufficient sample to draw conclusions about the populations. There are 9 variables in my theoretical framework. I need your suggestions and thoughts on this , PLEASE

Dear Jean-Paul,
Thank you very much first of all. Well, My IV is a 7-likert scale. It was adopted by Wang and Ahmed (2004) and some items were modified. Anyway, My IV is a scale, but my DV is not a scale. It is not a continuous variable. As I explained earlier, I am measuring the housing developers' financial performance. My worry is that my model (IV and DV) is not significant. I ran regression. I was so down and disappointed because my model got a problem. Logically, it must not have any problem. I mean innovativness as an IV should have a link with performance. What to do with the DV , now?
