Frontline workers bring different forms of knowledge to bear on decisions and actions. Even so, knowledge has so far received limited attention in the street-level literature. This article develops a nuanced understanding of what constitutes knowledge in frontline work and shows how different forms of knowledge are mobilized on the ground. Taking a practice-based and abductive approach, the article draws on qualitative data from a multi-sited organizational ethnography in three Danish child welfare agencies as well as insights from a broad range of literature to build a conceptual framework for studying knowledge mobilization in frontline work. The framework delineates three interdependent forms of knowledge—knowledge-that, knowledge-how, and knowledge-by-acquaintance—that are all essential in frontline work. Knowledge-that is explicit and includes research evidence. Knowledge-how is rooted in experience and acquired through practice. Knowledge-by-acquaintance is rooted in encounters and denotes frontline workers’ “sense” of a case or situation. The empirical work shows how each form of knowledge is mobilized in practice. The findings yield important insights into the dynamics of knowledge mobilization at the frontlines, including the detrimental effects of rapid turnover, the conditions for realizing ideals such as evidence-based practice and data-driven decision-making, and the potential implications of digitalization and algorithmization.

Rapidly accumulating literature on public leadership tends to zoom in on specific aspects of leaders’ behavior. Such a fragmented approach may overlook the most challenging aspect of effective leadership: combining diverse behaviors in relation to various stakeholders to match contextual needs. This article therefore argues for a comprehensive approach that recognizes the behavioral complexity of most contemporary leaders, particularly in ambiguous contexts. The concept of leadership behavior repertoire facilitates this. The article conceptualizes the perspective of the leadership behavior repertoire and illustrates in which ways leaders combine behavioral options from their repertoire using data from in-depth interviews with public leaders. Based on our findings, we propose integration of this perspective into the field’s research agenda to make our understanding of leadership in public organizations more complete. Moreover, the repertoire perspective can challenge and advance theorizing of leadership in relation to its context and outcomes in a more comprehensive way.

The concept of “public values” is receiving increasing attention in the field of public administration. Much of the focus has been on the micro-level implications of public values for the behavior of bureaucrats and public institutions. This article argues that the public values approach could benefit from more systematic and detailed consideration of the macro-level implications of public values, that is, the nature of the public sector’s expected and legitimated contribution to society. Building on the work of John Rohr and Peter Overeem, it highlights how the concept of “prescriptive regime values” already provides a relevant foundation for this purpose and could help to untangle and better structure the plethora of public values currently found in the literature. To build and support this argument, the article reviews the public values literature, seeking to answer the following questions. First, what constitutes the public values perspective in public administration? Second, what are more “macro” public values? Where can they be found and how can they be characterized? Finally, what do “macro” public values do? To conclude, implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed, including a future research agenda that specifically incorporates prescriptive regime values as “macro” public values.
