    \                   article examining how institutional regimes shape green skill
    formation. Drawing on the microfoundations of management research, we propose
    a micro-level perspective of public sector green skill formation, thereby emphasizing
    the role of street-level bureaucrats serving as public servants who directly engage
    with citizens in implementing public policies and outline a research agenda.\r\n
