English term or phrase: locked in
I am translating a transcription of a video talking about security at work and the speaker said this:

There's certain situations that arise, right, where people really are paying attention, kind of locked in. They're really going to evaluate your real commitment, you know, as a leader.

Does anyone know what "locked in" could mean here?

Thanks in advance.
