Definition
恪尽职守 is a formal four-character idiom (chengyu) meaning 'to fulfill one's duty with scrupulous dedication' or 'to be devoted to one's responsibilities'. It is often used in professional, official, or moral contexts — describing someone who takes their obligations seriously and performs them meticulously. Unlike a simple verb, this phrase carries a tone of integrity and conscientiousness, and it is typically used in writing or formal speech.
