dutifulness
Faithful obligation fulfillment
Dutifulness is the quality of being dutiful—conscientiously fulfilling one's obligations and responsibilities.
It suggests reliable compliance with what duty demands, whether to family, employer, or principle: Her dutifulness to her aging parents never wavered.
The word can carry a hint of joyless obligation, doing what's required rather than what's desired.
