Shrnutí	Field-based theoretical sampling is an iterative qualitative sampling strategy in which decisions about whom to observe or interview next are made during active fieldwork, guided by emerging theoretical insights from the data already collected. Rooted in Glaser and Strauss's grounded theory, it extends theoretical sampling into naturalistic, in-situ field settings — ethnographic sites, clinical environments, organizational contexts — where data collection and analysis proceed simultaneously.	Purposive sampling is a non-probability strategy in which the researcher deliberately selects participants, documents, or cases that are information-rich with respect to the research question. Rather than drawing units at random, the researcher applies explicit criteria aligned with the study's purpose, maximising the depth and relevance of the data collected. It is the default sampling logic in most qualitative research designs and is also used in mixed-methods and applied evaluative work.
