Entrepreneurship's universal nature has transcended economic boundaries, infiltrating various sectors and permeating the public sphere. This entrepreneurial influence has been pivotal in shaping and enhancing public organizations, significantly impacting policy formation spaces. Shifts in scholarly focus towards street-level bureaucrats (SLBs), frontline workers influencing services through their professional insights, have uncovered their significant role in shaping government-citizen relationships. Despite the traditional emphasis on higher levels of government for policy entrepreneurship due to resource demands and required skill sets, recent studies reveal SLBs as significant contributors to policy design. In this context, this conceptual paper conducts a literature review tracing the evolution from entrepreneurship concepts to street-level policy entrepreneurship, examining case studies on Israeli waste separation. While existing research has made strides in linking SLBs to policy entrepreneurship, areas like street-level managers warrant further exploration, adding contextual elements to entrepreneurial strategies. Future investigations should delve into reasons driving SLBs to engage in policy entrepreneurship, evaluate the outcomes—successes or failures—of their endeavors in creating public value, and elucidate their distinctive role in policy implementation, differentiating them from conventional policy entrepreneurs. Understanding the normative role of street-level policy entrepreneurship remains crucial to unravel, enhancing comprehension of SLBs' navigation from implementation to policy design.
