Resumo: The method of Weberian understanding has been the subject of discussion and debate over time. However, specifically, empathic understanding is still little explored, especially in the study of Brazilian organizations. After searching on major databases and journals hosted on the website Periódicos CAPES, we found that there is little academic literature that follows the path of empathic understanding, specifically in the field of Organizational Studies in Brazil. Therefore, we seek to bring in this study some considerations about the rescue of empathic understanding for the research. Considering the approach of organizational aesthetics as a backdrop, the discussion articulates the epistemological foundations of empathic understanding proposed by Weber’s sociology. This recommends that studies in the field of Social Sciences are anchored primarily in understanding the meaning of individual action to understand why they act a certain way. Following the discussion, we reflect on the possible contributions that empathic understanding can bring to research, considering the idea of the researcher as a key to building the research corpus and the plausibility of knowledge obtained without necessarily undertaking the action. This article serves as a trigger for the development of other discussions about the possibilities of contribution of empathic understanding for the research in Organization Studies.

No obstante, específicamente, la comprensión empática todavía es poco explorada, especialmente en el ámbito del estudio de las organizaciones brasileñas. Después del relevamiento realizado en las principales bases de datos y periódicos compilados en el portal Periódicos Capes, verificamos que, específicamente en el área de Estudios Organizacionales en Brasil, es escasa la producción académica sobre la comprensión empática. Por lo tanto, este artículo aporta algunas consideraciones sobre el rescate de la comprensión empática en la investigación. Considerando el abordaje de la estética organizacional como telón de fondo, la discusión articuló las bases epistemológicas de la comprensión empática propuesta por la sociología weberiana. Esta preconiza que los estudios de las Ciencias Sociales deben anclarse prioritariamente en la comprensión del sentido de la acción de los individuos, de modo que podamos entender por qué actúan de determinada manera. Para ello, reflexionamos sobre las posibles contribuciones de la comprensión empática a la investigación, considerando la idea del investigador como pieza clave para la construcción del corpus de investigación y la plausibilidad del conocimiento, sin necesariamente emprender la acción. Esperamos que este estudio sirva como un disparador para la elaboración de nuevas discusiones sobre las posibilidades de contribución de la comprensión empática a la investigación en los Estudios Organizacionales.O método weberiano da compreensão tem constituído objeto de discussão e debate ao longo do tempo.
