Interesting question, answers are there in comics and JLU animated series.
I like to think of GL ring as an advanced A.I. computer which can perform many other functions as well, such as creating the constructs.
If the ring is not set in an auto protect mode then the user will have to use his will power to create the shield.
The shield is constructed of hard light using finite amount of energy, that can be broken just like any other material in the universe, but it can be created again instantly, if needed.
Will power is needed to create the construct, not maintain it, unless it is getting constantly destroyed then will power is needed to recreate it continuously.

It works both ways, if the GL has set the ring to protect him in an automatic mode, then even if he is not in a GL suit and not shielded, the ring will create a shield as soon as it senses any harmful projectile coming towards him.What would happen if Hal Jordan was shot with a gun? Like not as GL but just sitting around normally with his ring on? Would the ring protect him automatically or would he have to form a protective shield by his own will?

shield's strength is determined by the it's thickness defined by the user creating it, using his imagination and will power.Speaking of which, what does it take to maintain an energy shield? That moment fighting Parallax when a piece of debris hits him even after he puts up a shield, I couldn't help wondering "Why even bother with a shield if he still gets knocked on his ass?"
