Objective: the objective of this essay is to develop theoretical propositions about public policies implementation.
Theoretical Framework: the study is based on the literature about the factors that influence the action of the street-level bureaucrats in the implementation of public policies.
Results: The first proposition argues that discretion, more than na influencing factor, is an assumption of implementation. Another proposition derives from the perception that the action of implementing public policies influences in different ways the principles that govern it — stable core — and its intercontextual factors — dynamic core. The last proposition argues that there must be an effort of policymakers to recognize the influence and to know the factors that influence the way the street-level bureaucracy implements a given public policy. As a result, the original normative framework of public policy would have greater adherence to the reality observed in the contexts in which public policy is implemented, in addition to bringing the consideration of multidimensionality to the bases of public policy as a basic characteristic of street-level bureaucracy. Additionally, an integrative model of dimensions and categories about the subject is presented.
Originality: presents discretion as an assumption when studying the factors influencing the action of street-level bureaucrats, differentiating it from discretionary action. In addition, the proposed model seeks to advance on the debate about existing dynamics between the formulation and implementation of public policies.
Theoretical and practical contributions: from a theoretical point of view, the content of the essay raises arguments that contribute qualitatively to the research area. From a practical perspective, it provides a model that can serve as a parameter for new studies and presents propositions that can be tested in future empirical research.
KEYWORDS: Street-level bureaucracy, Factors influencing the action, Normative framework, Dimensions and categories.
