The Fulham boss came out fighting on Tuesday, defending the style of management that has done little to endear him to the club's senior players - and certainly not to Bobby Zamora, who was unhappy to be dropped for Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Swansea.
Jol said 80 per cent of his players need winding up to perform at their best.
He said: 'It's not provocation. For me it's inspiration and trying to stimulate them. They always realise that I always try to get the best out of them. It will never be personal.
'Even if I didn't like a player I wouldn't show them because that is my job to be a professional manager.
'I'm sure there is always one or two in the starting XI who doesn't like the manager, but it's about doing the business for the club. You can't keep all of players happy all of the time.'
The Dutchman's relationship with Zamora has, reportedly, been frosty since the striker was told he would not be travelling to Odense for Fulham's 2-0 Europa League victory in September.
Jol also admitted he has quarrelled with Andrew Johnson, whose contract runs out next summer, and captain Danny Murphy, who was fined for walking straight down the tunnel after being substituted at West Bromwich in September.
'In any team you have to get the pressure to perform,' said Jol. 'I had the same with Johnson and I had the same with Murphy. With 80 per cent of the players, we have to try to create a sort of atmosphere to get the best out of them.
'It was the same with Bobby a couple of months ago. I thought to rest him and I left him out and he was moaning he was not going with us to Denmark.
'I thought I did a good thing to rest him, but players always have different opinions. For me, the main thing is that we get the best out of them and they give 100 per cent.'
The focus on his relationship with Zamora is something that irks Jol. But Jol insisted Zamora will still be a Fulham player after the January transfer window closes.
The striker has been included in the squad to face Odense tonight.
Fulham must win to guarantee their place in the last 32 of the Europa League without Johnson, who is suspended following a red card against FC Twente last month, and Bryan Ruiz, who is ineligible. But Jol believes his approach will help Zamora to perform at his best and secure him a place in England's squad for Euro 2012.
He said: 'I hope I can get the best out of Bobby. There are players who want to play in every game, but I make the decisions. I feel we are on a good track and over the last two months he has been fitter than ever.'
