Structured, homogeneous group employment counseling is a process of group interaction where the functions of the group members are to make decisions, give each other assistance, and group teach. This type of counseling is appropriate for such groups as high school students or displaced homemakers. The concepts of situational leadership can be adapted to the skill training of the leader of a structured, task-oriented group. This situatonal leadership approach is based on the relationship among these factors: (1) the amount of direction (directive behavior) a leader gives; (2) the amount of support and encouragement (supportive behavior) a leader provides; and (3) the competence and commitment (developmental level) that a follower exhibits in performing a specific task. Many counselors have been occupationologists, others have been therapists. Job-seeking people need a group leader who can use a directing/coaching leadership style to help them develop new attitudes and methods for gaining employment. (ABL)
