Different researchers have been studied issues related to organizational studies like author’s nationality, Brazilian way of publishing, predominant topics and insights, and research methods. This study aims contributing to this set of issues, investigating: What type of methodology has been privileged in Brazilian and foreign authors’ organizational studies? Would they present any differences? 194 articles published in wellknown journals, like Organization Studies, Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Revista de Administração de Empresas, Revista de Administração da USP e Revista de Administração Pública, within the 2000-2001 period, were analyzed. The results show that traditional methods of positivistic orientation continue to predominate in organizational studies, although differences exist within the journals and based on their origins. The results instigated reflections related to their possible causes, as well as the presentation of different methodologies founded in the researched articles.
