Answer:

Reciprocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocity: From the word 'reciprocate'. This is a principle that states that when a you receive a favor from someone, it is required of you to also return the favor. It involves individuals, business Organizations, or country.

The question illustrate that of a location; Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Pennsylvania commissioner wants to waive some required examinations for Paul so that whenever a producer in Pennsylvania too wants to become a producer in Ohio, the examination will be waived for him/her.

In reciprocity, individuals, business Organizations, countries favoured by others are compelled to return the favour. It is a form of mutual relationship where both parties benefits. It support the saying ' I scratch your back and you scratch my back in return'.

Answer:

Reciprocity

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle of reciprocity referees to the tendency of humans to give back when they recieve something. The need to give something back is strongest when there is no expectation from the person that gave the gift.

People also do not want to feel indebted to others and this drives reciprocity. For example when someone says 'thank you', the other person has an urge to reply with a 'you are welcome.'

In the given scenario the Commissioner in Pennsylvania will waive certain examination requirements, provided that Ohio would waive these same requirements if a Pennsylvania producer sought licensure in Ohio.
