Using needs theory as a framework, describes research that examinedtop rated school superintendents' needs for power, achievement andaffiliation. Identifies distinctive motivational profiles using the jobchoice exercise (JCE) and supplements quantitative results withtelephone interviews which enabled comparison of JCE scores with verbalresponses. Results indicated the need for power was the dominant motiveand that it tended to be coupled with low affiliation rather than highaffiliation. Interview data supported the importance of power, butsuggested motives serve as predispositional tendencies which are oftensuperseded by pressure to act in response to situational specifics.
