“…In addition, the decentralization and agencification that has occurred in recent years, based on the guidance given to service users, an important component of the New Public Management movement, has made these managers assume roles and influence over relevant decisions, occupying spaces that were previously dedicated to high-level bureaucrats. Thus, these MLBs came to wield great potential influence in organizational, political and technical terms (Howlett, 2011;Lima & Medeiros, 2012). Moreover, they entered the scope of bureaucratic activities such as efficient management and accountability (Osborne, 2010;Pollitt & Bouckaert, 2011).…”

“…If the implementor is not engaged in the policy and does not take the responsibility to provide a quality service, barriers can arise in the execution of the policy. Lima and Medeiros (2012), based on interviews with implementors, warn of another type of barrier: distrust and pessimism associated with the public policy which is being implemented. In addition, the fear of the policy being discontinued due to political issues and a lack of financial resources can lead to a lack of motivation and effort put into the work's execution.…”

“…Unlike what traditionally occurs with public policies in Brazil, which is reinforced by studies such as Vitkauskas (2013) and Lima and Medeiros (2012), the government fulfilled its commitment to the universities by making the planned budget available within the timeframe stipulated for the implementation of Reuni and most of the MLBs recognize this positive point. The financial issue thus does not appear to have been a barrier to the implementation of this policy.…”

Resumo Este artigo busca contribuir com os estudos sobre as percepções de Burocratas de Médio Escalão (BMEs) na implementação de uma política pública. Para tanto, analisam-se empiricamente as percepções dos BMEs na implementação do Programa de Apoio a Planos de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais (Reuni) no âmbito da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG). Realizou-se um estudo de caso, mediante pesquisa documental e entrevistas com esses burocratas. Os resultados demonstram a importância de que o BME tenha apoio institucional e preparação técnica e emocional para realizar um bom trabalho. Em termos empíricos, demonstra-se que a UFG não conseguiu atender às metas globais do Reuni, porém, cumpriu a maioria das diretrizes estipuladas pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC) em decreto, com destaque para a ampliação de políticas de inclusão e assistência estudantil, transformando uma universidade “elitizada” em uma universidade “igualitária”. De modo unânime, os BMEs reconhecem a grande importância do Reuni na UFG, em termos estruturais e de ensino, e que sua atuação poderia ter sido mais bem desempenhada com suporte e preparação adequados.

“…Nessas situações, a interpretação é necessária, pelo fato de que os atores precisam tomar decisões, precisam prestar o serviço mesmo diante da ambiguidade de objetivos e regras (Antezana, 2013). Assim, em ambientes onde as políticas públicas são formuladas de forma centralizada para serem implementadas de maneira homogênea (Lima & Medeiros, 2012;Lotta & Pavez, 2010), a preocupação talvez seja como aumentar a discrição, ao contrário da preocupação de Davis (1969) Diante disso, cabem aos executores de linha de frente a interpretação e a decisão sobre a maneira mais adequada para implementar a política, ou seja, não só executam as políticas, mas por meio de suas interpretações, decisões e ações também constroem as políticas.…”

The general objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence the decision and action behavior of street-level implementers and show how these factors affect the day-today development of their work. Street-level implementers, known in the literature as "street-level bureaucrats," are the professionals responsible for the delivery of public services to the citizenry. The option to analyze the process of policy implementation from the perspective of street-level bureaucracy was made in consideration of the fact that this approach, although well-researched internationally, has received little attention in Brazil. In addition, theory has shown that the professional at the point of service delivery carries the true responsibility for good or poor implementation performance. Thus analysis of policy implementation from the perspective of these professionals, mapping and interpreting the factors that influence their decisions and actions can provide a contribution to the field, revealing where research can advance and creating mechanisms in support of the field and of practice in the implementation process. Research data was collected from the documents that compose the normative framework of social policy, in general, and Program for Integrated Attention to the Family (PAIF), in particular. In addition, field research on the implementation of PAIF was carried out by means of semi-structured interviews with professionals of the technical teams working out of CRAS located in five Brazilian state capitals, one in each of the five regions of the country. The research instrument used was a script made up of 20 open-ended questions, which were broken down into more specific questions about the decisions and actions taken by implementers during their day-today activities. This script was developed on the basis of categories derived from theory. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and transferred to NVivo software, used to support the content analysis carried out of the interview material and the documentary material. Initial categories used in content analysis were derived from theory and include the following: norms, discretion, interaction between implementer and the public of the policy, management system for the policy, accountability, and selfinterest. Two additional categories, not mentioned in the literature, emerged from the itself: team-based discretion, and the implementer as guarantor of rights. Principal findings were that not all factors emphasized in this field of study have the same power to influence the behavior of the street-level implementer in the Brazilian context. Not only this, but other influential factors were identified during analysis of the data, showing that in Brazil street-level bureaucracy presents nuances different than what is observed in international research. Based on the results of this research, a conceptual model was developed that can be used to guide research on street-level bureaucracy in the implementation of social, and perhaps other policies. This study is the fi...
