This research investigated the role of leadership functions in a context of intergroup negotiation by using a simulation game of inter‐regional conflict and cooperation (SIRC 2 ). As a part of their social psychology course, 151 undergraduate students participated. It was hypothesized that there are four leadership factors in an intergroup context: in‐group performance, in‐group maintenance, out‐group negotiation performance, and out‐group relation maintenance. According to a factor analysis, however, the functions of in‐group performance and out‐group performance merged into the same category and could not be differentiated independently. Moreover, this research provided evidence that opportunities for intergroup communication and the amount of resources available to each group can facilitate these leadership functions. This study also found links between leadership functions and group outcomes. In a group with members who were homogeneous and facing common survival problems, the in‐group/out‐group performance function facilitated the achievement of the group goal. On the other hand, in a group with members with different roles, and who were self‐sufficient for survival, the in‐group maintenance function facilitated the achievement of the group goal. Moreover, in the intergroup context, the out‐group relationship maintenance function was also important for group goal attainment. These results were interpreted using the path–goal theory and Fiedler's contingency theory
