The a priori factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity of Steers and Braunstein's (1976) Manifest Needs Questionnaire were evaluated for a sample of 96 registered nurses. The questionnaire exhibited generally unsatisfactory psychometric properties. Readers are cautioned against its adoption as a research tool unless future studies yield more favorable results.
