Discipline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Discipline (disambiguation).
Discipline is any training intended to produce a specific character or pattern of behaviour, especially training that produces moral, physical, or mental development in a particular direction. Discipline, while often thought to be a coercive mechanism, can be a collaborative process of building consensus regarding accepted behavior within institutions and society.
In unionised companies, discipline may be a regulated part of a collective bargaining agreement and subject to grievance procedures.
Self-discipline is the ability to manage oneself and one's emotions. Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for motivation, when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires.
