In 5th Edition, willpower is modeled by Wisdom as per the core rulebooks.

PHB chapter 7.

Wisdom reflects how attuned you are to the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition.

The rules do not use the term "willpower". The closest they come is "will to live" which is for Constitution.

This question on RPG.STackExchange generated a lot of opinions without any clear answer.
