Abstract

The psychometric adequacy of Steers and Braunstein's (1976) Manifest Needs Questionnaire is investigated. Research results indicate that the instrument possesses adequate stability but lacks adequate internal consistency. Factor analytic procedures fail to replicate the a priori factor structure. Results are compared with Steers and Braunstein's developmental work. Potential users of the instrument are advised to interpret research outcomes in light of the deficiencies noted.
