In 08, I read in the manual that determination involves the person's desire to get better. Their discipline involves how effective they are in doing their job/role.

With staff, does a person's determination and discipline influence their other attributes? For example does a scout with a determination of 18 and ca of 6 change as they age to improve their ca assessment (say to 10)? Could the opposite occur (scout with a ca of 15 and determination 3 eventually make a ca of 10)?

I ask because I inherited a decent assman with a pa of 15. His determination is 7. In season 2, I noticed his pa was reduced to 14.

It made me wonder...

I did a search thread, but most of the results were about player attributes and how determination influences their performances during matches.

Thanks for any input you might have.

Well I think you've answered your own question really.

I remember reading ages (as long ago as FM06) that discipline is merely a tendency, so if they a rating of 20 and were ever manager they'd be a disciplinary, otherwise I pretty sure it’s useless.
Determination affects how they rate players and their attitude towards them, but I don't know how. I think with scouts, low determination can lead to irrelevant scouting reports when instructed to find a specific type of player. Again this might be out of date, and I’d be really interested to know if this is still the case in FM08.

i think that determination DOES affect stats as they age, players and to a certain extent maybe staff.

i don't think discipline will affect other stats.
