- Title
The Punctuated-Tuckman: A Conceptual Model for the Integration of Tuckman, PEM, and Systems Group Development Theories.
- Authors
Hurt, Andrew C.
- Abstract
Two commonly accepted theories of group development are the Tuckman model (Tuckman & Jensen, 1977) and the Punctuated-Equilibrium model (Gersick, 1988). Critiques of both are that they assume linear development and that they fail to account for outside influences. In contrast, Tubbs (2004) suggests that group development should be viewed from a systems perspective. This paper proposes an integration of two group models entitled the Puctuated-Tuckman. The proposed model is designed to integrate elements of the Tuckman model of group development, the punctuated equilibrium model of group development, and systems theory. This proposed model could assist educators, theorists, and practitioners of group development to more clearly understand the process by which groups develop.
