On Sasakian manifolds, Matsumoto and Chūman [3] defined a contact Bochner curvature tensor (see also Yano [7]) which is invariant under D-homothetic deformations (for D-homothetic deformations, see Tanno [5]). On the other hand, Tricerri and Vanhecke [6] defined a general Bochner curvature tensor with conformal invariance on almost Hermitian manifolds. In this paper we define an extended contact Bochner curvature tensor which is invariant under D-homothetic deformations of contact metric manifolds; we call it the EK-contact Bochner curvature tensor. We show that a contact metric manifold with vanishing EK-contact Bochner curvature tensor is a Sasakian manifold.
