The dynamical properties of quantum entanglement in the Dicke model without rotating-wave approximation are investigated in terms of the reduced-density linear entropy. The characteristic time of decoherence process in the early-time evolution is numerically obtained and it is shown that the characteristic time decreases as the coupling parameter increases. The mean entanglement, which is defined to be averaged over time, is employed to describe the influences of both quantum phase transition and corresponding classical chaos on the behavior of entanglement. For a given energy, initial conditions are taken to be minimum uncertainty wave packets centered at regular and chaotic regions of the classical phase space. It is shown that the entanglement has a distinct change at the quantum phase transition, and that the entanglement for regular initial conditions is smaller than that for chaotic ones in the case of weak coupling, while it fluctuates with small amplitude in strong coupling and for chaotic initial conditions.
