Resumo: | This epistemological study aims to expose and discuss the issue of management scientificity. This discussion has been held in other studies, without being, however, like this study, conducted through an epistemological criteria analysis of the philosophers Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn and Imre Lakatos. On the basis of epistemological analysis, can be concluded: that management, as a theory of knowledge, can be considered science, which arises from the possibility of distorting the studies in this area as sophisticated falsification of Popper, that management meets the assumption science paradigm of Kuhn, although there was no consensus on what stage fits the mold research programs presented by Lakatos. It is known that management still has a long way to go in quest to expand its methodological rigor and mature, but dismissing it as a science, and does not help with the ripening, it undercuts a wide range of social actors – organizations – which are not the main object of study of other sciences. |

Essa discussão já foi realizada em outros estudos, sem ter sido, contudo, a exemplo deste estudo, efetuado por meio da análise dos critérios epistemológicos dos filósofos Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn e Imre Lakatos. Com base nas correntes epistemológicas apresentadas, pode-se concluir: que a administração, como teoria do conhecimento, pode ser considerada ciência, o que decorre da possibilidade de falsear os estudos dessa área conforme o falseacionismo sofisticado de Popper; que a administração atende aos pressupostos da ciência paradigmática de Kuhn, apesar de não existir consenso sobre em que etapa se encontra e se adéqua aos moldes dos programas de pesquisa apresentados por Lakatos. Sabe-se que a administração ainda possui um longo caminho a percorrer em busca da ampliação de seu rigor metodológico e de seu amadurecimento, mas desconsiderá-la como ciência, além de não auxiliar neste amadurecimento, acaba por desprestigiar um amplo grupo de atores sociais – as organizações – que não são objeto principal de estudo de outras ciências.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8077.2010v12n28p12710.5007/2175-8077.2010v12n28p127Revista de Ciências da Administração; v.12, n.28, setembro/dezembro de 2010; 127-1462175-80771516-3865reponame:Revista de Ciências da Administraçãoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8077.2010v12n28p127/17428Damke, Elói JúniorWalter, Silvana AnitaSilva, Eduardo Damião dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-21T14:12:53Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/17390Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/admPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/oairevista@cse.ufsc.br||mfpcris@gmail.com||rca.cse@contato.ufsc.br2175-80771516-3865opendoar:2022-11-21T14:12:53Revista de Ciências da Administração - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
