To justify surveying only a sample of the managers instead of surveying the entire population of managers, the following condition must be true:
**The population is expensive and time-consuming to survey.**
This rationale is common in survey research when the costs or resources required to survey the entire population are prohibitive. If the entire population of managers can be surveyed without significant cost or effort, it would usually be more accurate to do so.
