obligers
Those who comply
Obligers are people who do favors or accommodate others' requests.
The term often appears in personality frameworks describing those who meet external expectations more readily than internal ones—people who'll finish a project for a boss but struggle to maintain personal goals.
Obligers need external accountability to follow through on commitments.
