A study by Kerr and Jermier found that some contextual factors may negate the need for either task oriented or relationship oriented leadership behaviors, such as specific characteristics of group members, the task, or the organization . </P> <P> Groups composed of members who have a "professional" orientation or members who do not necessarily value group rewards, can neutralize or negate both task and relationship oriented leadership . Also, individuals who are highly trained and capable, or those who have a need for independence, may not require that their leader focus on task coordination . </P> <P> When the task is clear and routine, "methodologically invariant," or involves automatic feedback about accomplishment, task oriented leadership may be unnecessary . Furthermore, a task that is intrinsically satisfying can remove the need for relationship oriented leadership behaviors . </P>
