Studies on gender relations and also on organizational aesthetics may have wide variations, thus these themes are present under various approaches in the agendas of researchers. The aesthetic consideration of organizations has, over the years, gained importance in organizational analysis, while studies of gender relations emerge from the diversity of individuals that become part of organizations. This essay represents a theoretical effort to identify intersections between these themes to provide new looks at three different tracks of Organizational Studies: relationships between individuals and organization; organizational culture; and organizational performance. For this, we will present the concepts of gender relation in organizations and organizational aesthetics, studies on the relation of individuals to the organization, organizational culture and organization performance, focusing on the discussion about possible intersection points between these themes. To present suggestions for further studies, we comprised theoretical and theoretical-empirical essays on gender relations and organizational aesthetics. Thus, the contribution of this essay lies on the aggregation of two literatures (gender relations and organizational aesthetics) hitherto not usually related, but which can together provide relevant and representative contributions to organizational studies and analyses.
