Özet:

 

This article deals with the significance of caseworkers in implementing reforms  within the German Public Employment Service (“Bundesagentur für Arbeit”). In  the last decade, the so-called “Hartz-Reforms” fundamentally changed labor  market policies in Germany. First, we explore the question of how caseworkers  assess the reorientation of the business system. Second, we analyze their self- perception on the basis of certain theoretical assumptions. Employees at the  interface between organization and clients – the so-called “street-level  bureaucrats” – strongly influence the practical implementation of reforms. We use  unique empirical data from a survey among caseworkers and show that they  generally support the recent reforms. However, in some areas caseworkers  criticize details.
