How do we decribe people who always follow regulation?

Question

Like people do everything for a reason.

Answer 1

"lawful" fits the description of following regulation.

"Premeditated" fits the description of "doing everything for a reason"

Another word that you may potentially be looking for is "meticulous"

I hope that helps

Answer 2

We call it work-to-rule. People who work-to-rule follow the letter of the law (so to speak) and don't use judgment or devise creative solutions to problems. This behavior is fine in brand new employees who have yet to develop judgment or don't know enough to be creative. In long-time employees, it is not good, not customer-friendly.

Answer 3

Conformists

Answer 4

I speak more from a Work environment.
"Lifer", they do everything by the book and not capable of individual thought or imagination.
"Career" person is able to adapt to the flexibility of their work environment which enables change for the better of all concerned.

Answer 5

orderly, conscientious, law abiding, good neighbors, good citizen, good person...

there are always few exceptions to the rule, as they say
but there must be a compelling reason to justify

Answer 6

Integrity, compliance... there must be better words for it. It depends on whether the person in question is looked upon favourably or not.

Answer 7

Become faithful and honest in obeying the rules.
