Compliance with an order or request (9)

I believe the answer is:

obedience

(Other definitions for obedience that I've seen before include "Compliance with orders" , "Quality desired in dogs and troops" , "special devotion" , "Compliance, submission" , "Compliance with an order or law" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
