Management seems to be interested in organizations, but rarely really considers the various human aspects and their interactions within them. Organizational Studies (OS) intend to address them beyond practical, economic and financial matters while recognizing the need to study them in their complexity. Thus, the traditional administrative vision focuses on companies and understands their members only as resources for productive purpose. On the contrary, OS approach organizations in general, from a humanistic perspective, a contextual and historical vision, a critical position, a methodological diversity and a complex conception. In Latin America, it is necessary to develop a baseline of knowledge about OS that evidences the regional dynamics of the organizations and the different views in this regard, which differ from those existing in other regions of the world and in the main aspects of the administration, an issue that still has not been developed despite its importance. Here a general review and analysis of the publications on OS in the Latin American field is carried out, constituting an original contribution to the field of study and a fundamental reference for later work, both at the regional level and in the context of each of the countries. For this, an interpretative, qualitative, theoretical and descriptive research was carried out, which used techniques of documentary analysis on selected texts by consulting scientific articles in free access and subscription databases. Some of the limitations of the research are related to the field of study itself and to the current mechanisms for the dissemination of science, particularly in the region.

Keywords : critical perspective; humanism; Latin America; regional context.
