ABSTRACT:
The term "street-level bureaucracy," which describes a particular set of frontline employees or policy implementers, is crucial in the subject of public administration. They pledge to serve the public well and perform work that benefits society. However, the nature of their employment and the circumstances they operate in make it very difficult to provide all of their clients with the same level of quality. Street-level bureaucrats in Bangladesh, whose origins can be traced back to the colonial era, have established such behavioral and practice patterns that enable them to survive with the issues and challenges, such as the ongoing lack of resources and the frequently high demand for their services, structural impediments, lack of accountability, political ties, corruption, etc. These issues and challenges hinder the efficacy of street-level bureaucrats and work against the objectives of government agencies and their policies.
