Answer: Obedience to authority

Explanation: Obedience to authority is behavior that is part of social influence or in the context of social influence, and occurs when a certain person is subordinate to that influence in the form of following instructions and orders given by superiors. It is a behavior that is often reluctant to accept, but is accepted as is the case with Michael. Acceptance of such behavior and social influence is somewhat understandable because there is a fear of superiors and their reactions if Michael did not execute the instruction of a superior.
