How to handle a bunch of undisciplined people while being their boss?

I am fresh in management and I need and want to learn. I lost courage trying different things but it didn work

Grownups are like little kids: They need to know the rules of the game; and feel the consequences of their actions.
You have to be consistent and imparcial in your decisions, but fair. Not easy; but if it is part of your job, you'd better stick to your guns, especially if they're giving you a hard time.
And if you have to fire a couple of them, well, that's life: better them than you.

On the other hand, reward good examples/behavior so they feel compensated. This is also a good opportunity for the rest to "learn" and follow their example.

I have been a great boss and my employees respect and work hard for me. I had the luxury to hire my own employees, I didn't inheirit someone elses hiring mistakes. I believe that if you hire the right people for the job that they will flourish. But your problem is different.

I've always used a positive approach to management, "good job" "that's awesome" "thank you" "I appreciate you", etc. But if that doesn't work I might fire the worst one and tell the others that's what happens when you are insubordinate. It's a difficult situation but you will be doomed if you don't earn their respect and lead them. Good luck!

Earn their respect, show leadership, encourage your employees, and show that you care about their career.

treat them with respect

Spank them? Seriously: reward the good behavior.
You need to observe them to find out what appeals to them.
Some people prefer recognition, others like a little flexibility, still others simply prefer more money.

Hope this helps!
