It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discourse’, ‘governance by emotions’, ‘governance by peers’, and ‘governance by numbers, colours, and symbols’, the book shows how caseworkers are shaped as organizational staff members alongside their roles as welfare professionals and welfare state bureaucrats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoverning Street-Level Bureaucracies\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars and students in organizational sociology, street-level bureaucracy research, public administration, and critical management studies.
