Milgram's study on obedience examines how individuals can be influenced to obey authority figures even if it goes against their personal beliefs or values. In this scenario, Jack's boss represents an authority figure in the workplace and Jack is following their orders despite knowing that it is morally wrong. Milgram's study suggests that people are more likely to obey authority figures when there is a perceived legitimacy of authority and when there are no clear guidelines for action.
