Resumo: In order to understand the construction of theorizations about leadership, as well as the concepts and transformations that occurred in the field of Administration, we used Critical Theory as epistemological support to analyze concepts and historical conditions of Leadership Theory. Through qualitative research, we used the hermeneutic-dialectical method in our analyses. Specifically, we investigate the leadership theories: personal trait approach, style approach, contingency approach, and the new leadership approach, which are groupings made by Bryman (2009).  Our analyses indicate that leadership theories have naturalized the process in organizations. Faced with this thought, we sought to critically reflect on the leadership process by questioning its concept. We realize that, by abstracting the historical and conflictual context of the origin of the phenomenon, leadership theories configure themselves as Traditional Theories, producing instrumental rationalities, naturalized and at the service of capital.

Mediante una investigación cualitativa, utilizamos el método hermenéutico-dialéctico en nuestros análisis. En concreto, investigamos las teorías de liderazgo: enfoque de rasgos personales, enfoque de estilo, enfoque contingente y el nuevo enfoque de liderazgo, que son agrupaciones realizadas por Bryman (2009).  Nuestros análisis indican que las teorías de liderazgo han naturalizado el proceso en las organizaciones. Ante este pensamiento, buscamos reflexionar críticamente sobre el proceso de liderazgo cuestionando su concepto. Nos damos cuenta de que, al abstraer el contexto histórico y conflictivo del origen del fenómeno, las teorías del liderazgo se configuran como Teorías Tradicionales, produciendo racionalidades instrumentales, naturalizadas y al servicio del capital.Com o objetivo de compreender a construção teórica da liderança e as transformações ocorridas no campo da Administração, este artigo utiliza a Teoria Crítica como suporte epistemológico para analisar conceitos e condições históricas das Teorias Tradicionais da Liderança. Especificamente, investigamos as teorias de liderança: abordagem do traço pessoal, abordagem do estilo, abordagem contingencial e a abordagem da nova liderança. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando o método hermenêutico-dialético, concluímos que as teorias de liderança naturalizaram interesses gerenciais sem considerar a natureza conflituosa das organizações. Esse processo de naturalização foi criticamente refletido neste artigo, questionando o conceito de liderança e suas implicações. Percebemos que as teorias que se configuram como Teorias Tradicionais desconsideram o contexto histórico e conflituoso da origem do fenômeno, produzindo racionalidades instrumentais, naturalizadas e a serviço do capital. A abordagem crítica proposta neste estudo é um ponto forte, oferecendo um parâmetro para pesquisas empíricas baseadas nos estudos organizacionais críticos.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2023-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/read/article/view/123685Electronic Review of Administration; Vol. 29 No. 2 (2023): MAIO / AGOSTORevista Electrónica de Administración; Vol. 29 Núm. 2 (2023): MAIO / AGOSTORevista Eletrônica de Administração; v. 29 n. 2 (2023): MAIO / AGOSTO1413-23111980-4164reponame:REAd (Porto Alegre.
