A calculation of vector and tensor polarization observables of a deuteron in an optical potential framework for elastic proton-deuteron scattering at the incident deuteron energy $E_d=880$ MeV is presented. The main aim is to point out the role of various effects in explaining the wide-range angle distribution of these observables. Under the investigation are a double-scattering mechanism in the optical potential, the influence of various $NN$-partial waves and as well a comparison of calculations with two different deuteron wave-functions derived from the Bonn-CD $NN$-potential model and dressed bag model of Moscow-Tuebingen group.
