How it's used
Often used to describe someone who is reliable and takes ownership of their tasks. It is frequently paired with the verb 負, which emphasizes the act of bearing the burden of one's actions. Unlike formal contexts where one might use 負責, this noun form is the standard way to describe the character trait itself.
Examples
He is very responsible with his work, so you can rest assured if you leave it to him.
Do you think having a sense of responsibility is the most important thing for a team leader?
