134 Chapter 5 organizational level are part of the organizational context, and stakeholders at OHS and socio-political macro level are both part of the socio-political context of occupational health practice. To recruit stakeholders on different levels, we used a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. For purposive sampling, stakeholders needed to have a profession related to occupational health (e.g. manager health and safety) and they must represent a relevant stakeholder in occupational health practice in the Netherlands, as shown in Fig. 1. Stakeholders meeting the predefined criteria were approached by using existing contacts of the research team—i.e. snowball sampling. Stakeholders were invited by email and provided with a short description of the aim of the study. If stakeholders had additional questions about the study, the primary researcher (RS) answered these questions during the interview. In total, 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted; three with stakeholders at organizational level, four with stakeholders at OHS level and nine with stakeholders at socio-political macro level (see Table 1).
