Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article focuses on the managerial discretion that public managers experience. More specifically, it discusses how managerialism is an embedded ideological stance that influences understandings of public sector governance. I argue that managers\u2019 perceptions of discretion are affected by these understandings. The analysis draws on empirical data from a longitudinal study, demonstrating how public managers engage discourses emanating from managerialism in order to rationalize increased discretion. The findings suggest that customer perspectives functions as a rationalizing factor for engaging public managers\u2019 transition towards increased discretion. As such, this article contributes to knowledge about managerial discretion as well as managerialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
