Abstract
Abstract This paper describes a ten-item instrument for measurement of Maslow's need hierarchy. Data were obtained from 247 Certified General Accountants, 355 Chartered Accountants, and 290 Engineers and Scientists employed in public and private organizations across Canada. Responses were analyzed for five factors using oblique rotation. The factors corresponded to the security, social, esteem, autonomy, and self-fulfillment categories. Analysis for two factors resulted in separation of the security needs from the higher needs. There was no evidence for a deficiency-growth (Maslow, A. H., Toward a psychology of being . Toronto: van Nostrand 1962) separation.
