I believe the answer is:

insubordinate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'staff member not following orders' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i note junior' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'junior' becomes 'subordinate' (as in junior employees).
'i'+'n'+'subordinate'='INSUBORDINATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insubordinate that I've seen before include "Rebellious" , "Cheeky" , "Badly behaved" , "Disobedient" , "Defiant of authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
