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.
