Resumo: This theoretical essay aims to debate the need for considering alternative rationalities with regard to the instrumental one in Organizational Studies, favoring the citizenship exercise of the individual as a social actor, with an active role and not as a subject of science and the world. Theoretical assumptions of the critical Organizational Studies are resumed, in the paradigmatic context of radical humanism, in order to say the reason why a critical analysis has to be performed. The justification is that the established Social Science has become a legitimate way for controlling natural world and human behavior. Based on naive theoretical assumptions, according to Alberto Guerreiro Ramos’ view, the Administration Science has evolved on the basis of the instrumental rationality inherent to the Social Science predominant in the West, not criticized until 1970 because it worked until then. More recent criticism was not enough to break the mainstream, perhaps because reason detached from human psyche has become an attribute of society. However, there are alternative epistemological conceptions with regard to functionalism and the critical approach is a possible pathway, being able to bring advances to Organizational Studies, constituting one of the possible pathways in the search for human emancipation towards a better and fairer society.

São resgatados pressupostos teóricos dos Estudos Organizacionais críticos, no contexto paradigmático do humanismo radical, para responder porque fazer uma análise crítica. A justificativa é a de que a Ciência Social estabelecida tornou-se um meio legítimo de controle do mundo natural e a conduta humana. Apoiando-se em pressupostos teóricos ingênuos, na visão de Alberto Guerreiro Ramos, a Ciência da Administração se desenvolveu com base na racionalidade instrumental inerente à Ciência Social dominante no Ocidente, não sofrendo críticas até 1970 porque funcionou até ali. As críticas mais atuais não foram suficientes para romper a corrente principal, talvez porque a razão deslocada do psiquismo humano transformou-se em um atributo da sociedade. No entanto, há concepções epistemológicas alternativas ao funcionalismo e a abordagem crítica é caminho possível, podendo trazer avanços aos Estudos Organizacionais, constituindo um dos caminhos possíveis na busca da emancipação do homem em direção a uma sociedade melhor e mais justa.
