The Tuckman’s Model Implementation, Effect, and Analysis & the New Development of Jones LSI Model on a Small Group

Abstract

This paper presents a practical overview of the implementation of Tuckman model created by Bruce W. Tuckman in 1965 and revised by Tuckman and Mary Ann Conover Jensen in 1977. The model reflects the stages of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning on group dynamics on a small group of graduate students studying business major at the American University in the Emirates. The stages reflect the impact of the model while students conducting a negotiation role-play in a class setting composed of young leaders. The findings reflect the practicality of such a model to academia and practitioners in the workplace. The outcome of this study has revealed a new Jones LSI model that has a significant value to organizations facing the increasing today’s challenges.
