Abstract

The methodological approach adopted by researchers in management sciences is fundamental in shaping the knowledge generated. The pragmatic stance has gained prominence as an epistemological orientation that transcends traditional philosophical dichotomies by integrating diverse research methods to address complex organizational phenomena. This paper explores the epistemological and methodological foundations of the pragmatic paradigm in management sciences. By examining its theoretical underpinnings, methodological flexibility, and implications for research design, we highlight how pragmatism enables researchers to bridge theory and practice effectively. The approach adopted is qualitative, relying on secondary data sources and critical literature synthesis to construct a conceptual and reflective analysis.Our analysis underscores the significance of methodological pluralism, practical relevance and reflexivity in adopting a pragmatic research posture in management science research.
