Differing beliefs managers can have about their employees; Dislike work, lazy and try to avoid. Like to work, creative and seek work. Controlling and threaten to punish if they don"t perform responsibility. Give autonomy and responsibility as they have self-control and self- direction. Self-regulation = the process of refraining from impulsive tendencies and choosing to behave rationally. There is a constant battle bw the two systems: cool system = emotionally neutral, cognitive, strategic, long term thinking, hot system = driven by emotions and passions, is impulsive, reflexive, pleasure. Ego-depletion: our self-regulation ability (will power) resembles a muscle. Exerting self-regulation consumes resources and reduces the amount of resources available for subsequent self-control efforts. If you use a lot of will power at once, you"ll have less for other situations during the day.
