Abstract

This paper aims to understand how the phenomenological method has been used for research in the field of organizational studies. Studies using phenomenology were thus analyzed in order to understand: their use, the similarities among the subjects studied, the problems and difficulties reported by the investigators, the research subjects and techniques, among other factors. The selected articles came from scientific papers used in the research study by Silveira, Fischer and Olivier (2010), who mapped out the scientific articles, within the field of Business Administration, on phenomenology and its application as a research method. In order to update this study, other articles subsequently published in the same events and periodicals were also mapped. It was observed that the phenomenological approach or method has a consistent and significant epistemological potential for application in studying a variety of problems within the field of organizational studies. Moreover, these kinds of studies can contribute to further assimilation of the meaning of phenomenology, to understanding its transition from the philosophical method to the research method and, thus, to perceiving their potential for use in organizational studies.
