Kenya · Answer 1

The correct option is "D." Intra-group conflict within the group.

Explanation:

The second stage of the five-stage group development model is characterized by * BLANK * in the sense that it is mainly characterised by Power Struggle (Storming Stage).

The second stage of group development is the storming stage. The storming stage is where dispute and competitions are at its peak because now the group members have a vivid understanding of the work demand and a general feel of inter-dependency towards the group as well as the group members.

In order to simplify the stages, Bruce Tuckman presented a model of five stages Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing in order to develop as a group.

Here-under is the synopsis of the stages:

Orientation (Forming Stage) ... Power Struggle (Storming Stage) ... Cooperation and Integration (Norming Stage) ... Synergy (Performing Stage) ... Closure (Adjourning Stage)
