How are expectations and responsibilities seen in Buddhism?
Buddhism has two types of teachings: (i) worldly teachings; and (ii) non-worldly teachings. In the worldly teachings, a worker should do their job to the best of their abilities. In other words, Buddhism places expectations upon workers; just as monks must fulfil the expectations of their livelihood. The scriptures say: 


  The servants and employees thus ministered to as the Nadir by their
  master show their compassion to him in five ways:
  
  (i) they rise before him,
  
  (ii) they go to sleep after him,
  
  (iii) they take only what is given,
  
  (iv) they perform their duties well,
  
  (v) they uphold his good name and fame.

One meaning of the word 'dhamma' is 'duty' or 'practice'.
