Loyalty
Obligation, recognised and acted upon to promote the interests of a person or a group, even though there is no evident advantage in doing so. The important word here is “evident”: loyalty may involve short-term trouble or regret, but you may be able to influence the situation and make an investment—of thought, emotion, work or money—with better long-term results than you could have got from an early exit.
