People at lower levels have their actions prescribed by their training and their written instructions. “Going by the book”, as it were. Their process is called “programmed decision making”; but it isn’t really decision-making at all. It is recognition of familiar variables and reaction according to prescribed procedure.

There are no “implications” (effects). The two terms simply mean what they mean. Different circumstances for different people doing different things.

Had you been asked “What are the implications for a person moved from one environment to the other?” it would be a different matter – you could really go to town on that one. But, possibly as a result of a “programmed” question-setter, you were not.
