Management is establishment of clear rule or regulations upon which people are supposed to adhere or act according to them. It forms the regulations for governance. For instance, a parent would wish to setup house regulations, which in most cases are broken due to their implication to the negative aspects. On the other hand, discipline traits encourage rather than force action.
It is human nature to avoid recognizing the negative words of instructing such as “do not, cannot or must not”. (Foong, 2007) For example, stopping someone from doing what is inappropriate triggers their mind to doing it unless when provided with an appropriate alternative. For example if a parent say “stop watching television now”, this cannot work well compared to, “stop watching television now, and help in preparation of dinner”. The second option has an alternative that triggers discipline.
The main difference between behaviour and management depends on ones lifestyle. Well-managed lifestyle does not necessarily translate to enjoyable life compared to supportive behaviours that always translates to happiness, confidence, and responsibility. People always want to seek acceptance for what they do but not management. The disappointments and frustration brought about by failure needs support or guidance but not rules. Discipline consequently encourages while management may appear as a force towards what is right.
Discipline initiates well managed behaviour, for instance, a child learns the best way of communicating from family members, friends or teachers through imitation of their behaviours. Children brought up in a morally acceptable manner knowing what is acceptable and what is not, have good behaviours. Most parents will experience resistance over what is right when the children start learning to be independent.
This is a normal part of development because children will try to find their identity but regardless of the situations, the discipline implanted in their early ages remains firm and an important guidance over good and evil. According to Foong (2007), this is the reason why children come back to the parent for the love and approval of behaviour. It is therefore very important for parents to show children love but strongly indicate disagreement over indiscipline.
Behaviours are human reactions or responses to circumstances, to others or situations. A person reacts in a good manner with the aim of gaining control. One learns good behaviours in accordance with the keys instrumental circumstances of growth. Behaviour enables one to associate positive signals with the aim of receiving an intrinsically rewarding stimulus.
A human being can work tireless in accordance to stipulated measures to obtain the reward of a paycheck. Contrary, misbehaviour is negative reactions due to pressure from possibility of failures or forces of thinking unnaturally for instance unhappiness triggers anxiety causing someone to act in a manner that enables them to gain some form of happiness.
The similarity between behaviours and misbehaviours is on the aspect that they bring about new ways of thinking in order to overcome various problems such as anxiety or depression.
On comparison between behaviours and misbehaviours, the latter is by nature attention-seeking behaviours. It is inevitable to disregard attention from a seeker. One can understand the goals of misbehaviours through presented guts to reactions. People want to be noticed, thus clowning, constant interruptions, show-offs or whining.
Others want to help, thus the acts of incompetence, laziness or forgetfulness while misbehaviours can still exist as a trigger for gaining control or power and need to retaliate or hurt other people.
The relation between the two is that misbehaviours are easy to overcome using the good behaviours once one is in a position to identify the goal of the mischief or if it is replaceable with better results by avoiding the initial common instinctive impulses.
For example, one can ignore the misbehaviours such as interruptive actions by placing the attention elsewhere especially when the goal of the action is to seek attention or power.
Misbehaviours sometimes intentionally finds some applications because they the obvious indicative that their retaliatory nature hurts the feelings of whoever they are intentioned for. According to Grose (2005), Emphasis over good behaviours can overcome bad behaviours.
