The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop a measure of managerial caring. A review of the caring literature from nursing, education, and management formed the theoretical framework for the study. The Measure of Managerial Carator Behaviors (MMCB) survey instrument was developed from an initial conceptual framework based upon a review of literature and existing instruments which measure caring. The resulting Likert-type instrument to measure managerial caring behaviors was field-tested using a sample (N = 233) of managers. The MMCB was validated through a factor analysis procedure.
