Abstract This study examines the dynamics of policy implementation and organizational behavior in the Philippine public sector, focusing on three key national agencies: the Department of Education (DepEd), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). Anchored on Street-Level Bureaucracy Theory, Organizational Behavior Theory, Transformational Leadership Theory, Systems Theory, and Fiscal Governance Theory, the review explores how frontline discretion, leadership practices, organizational culture, and fiscal structures influence the translation of policy into practice. Using a systematic review approach guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework, a total of 470 records were identified from academic databases and institutional repositories. After duplicate removal, screening, and methodological filtering, 63 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis and 32 in the meta-analysis. The findings reveal persistent implementation gaps rooted in resource limitations, unclear guidelines, bureaucratic fragmentation, inconsistent supervision, and misaligned budgeting processes. These challenges result in varied interpretations of policy and uneven implementation across regions and sectors. The study concludes that policy effectiveness in the Philippines is shaped less by policy design and more by human behavior, organizational dynamics, leadership competence, and fiscal coherence. In response, the paper proposes the development of an integrated administrative and supervisory framework that harmonizes leadership practices, strengthens organizational behavior, supports inter-agency coordination, and aligns fiscal governance with policy goals. The review underscores the critical role of evidence-based leadership, capacity-building, and human-centered governance in improving public-sector performance and achieving more consistent, equitable, and responsive service delivery across DepEd, DENR, and DBM.
