The polarization of $\Lambda_b$ baryon has been measured in ALEPH, OPAL and DELPHI experiments. A significant loss on the transfer of the $b$ quark polarization to the $\Lambda_b$ baryon polarization has been noticed. This implies that the hadronization effects can not be neglected. Therefore, we may make use of the polarization measurements to look for suitable model for the $\Lambda_b$ distribution function. To investigate nonperturbative effects implied in the $\Lambda_b$ polarization, we construct four models based on a perturbative QCD factorization formula. The models are the quark model (QM), the modified quark model (MQM), the parton model (PM), and the modified parton model (MPM). The modified models mean the models having transverse degrees of freedom and the associated soft radiative corrections having been resummed. The quark and parton models can not describe all experiments in the same time. On the other hand, the modified models can have the power to explain all data in the same formalism.
