OK. Now how do you want to use it in a sentence? Can you write a sample sentence? It doesn't have to be perfect. Just give me some idea of how this phrase about deference or obedience is going to fit in with the rest of what you're thinking.

Here in the U.S. we'd likely write something like this:

They tried to measure employees' willingness to cooperate with management.
