Abstract

Neste ensaio teórico busca-se explorar o alinhamento entre a sociologia relacional e a teoria ator-rede e possíveis repercussões deste alinhamento para as pesquisas em organizações. Para isso, realizou-se a revisão dos principais autores de cada abordagem, destacando o seu posicionamento ontológico, epistemológico e metodológico. Em complemento, utilizou-se uma estrutura de classificação de paradigmas sociológicos para discutir o alinhamento das abordagens, revelando convergências e divergências entre ambas. Explorou-se, ainda, como a aproximação entre essas abordagens sociológicas pode auxiliar a área de estudos organizacionais (i) no amadurecimento e inovação nas teorias da área; e (ii) na aproximação das teorias com a realidade empírica. Por fim, são apresentadas oportunidades de pesquisa que versam sobre a inclusão do tempo nas explanações teóricas da área, dar voz a materialidade e os elementos não humanos em suas observações e aproximar-se das experiências sociais das pessoas em busca de explicações que ressoam a realidade das organizações.
