“…Still, since the 1980s, Israel has been considered by most scholars as leaning toward a liberal welfare regime, and this has resulted in a shift toward privatization and marketization of social services. Approximately 80% of personal social services are provided by nongovernmental actors, including those in the business sector and nonprofit sector organizations (Benish, 2018; Simonovich et al, 2021). The main model for social service provision in Israel is defined as “partial privatization.” In this model, the government bodies and local authorities define the composition of services to be provided, provide full or partial funding, and determine service eligibility.…”

This comparative paper adds to the literature by exploring the connection between policy entrepreneurship and collaboration among street‐level bureaucrats (SLBs) in two countries. We asked if SLBs, as policy entrepreneurs, promote collaborative efforts in their work. If so, in what ways? The study was based on qualitative research and in‐depth semistructured interviews with 20 SLBs in social services in Israel and Germany. Our findings suggest that as policy entrepreneurs, SLBs use diverse ways of working together, and a higher level of policy change demands a higher level of collaboration. We offer three generic types of SLB policy entrepreneurs: collaborative policy entrepreneurs, collaborative‐coordinator policy entrepreneurs, and coordinator‐cooperative entrepreneurs. We suggest administrative cultures and policy styles may shed light on the presence of types of SLB policy entrepreneurs.

This study examined two significant phenomena that occur in the workplace, aggression and victimization, and their outcomes. The study’s participants were 470 social workers employed by social welfare services in Israel. The examined outcomes were stress symptoms, emotional exhumation, and decline in quality of service climate. The associations between aggression, victimization, and their outcomes were examined via linear regression during Stata 14. The study found that the similar outcomes of aggression and victimization are stress symptoms and emotional exhaustion, while service climate (decline in quality) was associated only with victimization. While most studies have examined mainly victimization outcomes, the current study examined both aggression and victimization outcomes. This article sheds light on the similarities and the difference of outcomes between aggression and victimization and explicates the phenomena of workplace aggression from two important and complementary aspects of aggression and victimization. It is important to refer to either aggression or victimization while considering workplace aggression. Authors recommend for further studies to continue to investigate both aggression and victimization while researching workplace aggression outcomes.
