'work will involve governing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'as one may expect?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'as' could be 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'eg' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
