Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: This research addresses the factors that affect the extent to which the actions of street-level bureaucrats diverge from the preferred policies of higher-level authorities. We examine the role of individual caseworkers and managerial-level factors in studying the municipal implementation of employment policy in Denmark. Differences among caseworkers account for 88 percent of the variation in their policy actions and their endorsement of national employment policy. Despite many caseworkers having predispositions to act otherwise, we show that managerial behaviors influence frontline actions and policy endorsements. Relevant managerial actions include supervision of caseworkers, emphasis on job placement functions, delegation of decision-making, and reduction of red tape. These influences are not strong and are mostly indirect. The findings underscore the importance of appropriate modeling of multi-level effects on the behaviors of street-level bureaucrats along with consideration of a range of managerial actions.
