Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between leader-member exchange and basic motivation resources (need for achievement, affiliation, power, and cognition) in the context of acquired needs model. To that end, data was collected on a sample of 147 white collar employees working in Izmir, Manisa and Malatya organized industrial zones through survey method. The recruited data was analyzed through IBM SPSS and Amos statistical analysis software. According to findings, participants report having comparatively higher levels of need for achievement, and perceive their leaders to have more exchange in terms of contribution dimension. Participants’ need for achievement is found to negatively correlate with leader-member exchange whereas their need for affiliation and cognition is positively correlated. However, the need for power is found to have zero correlation. Finally, the need for cognition, achievement and affiliation account for most of the variance explained of leader-member exchange respectively, and the need for power does not make any contribution to the overall model.
