In this essay, the objective is to reflect on the complexity inherent to socio-organizational spaces, seeking to overcome the subject x collectivity dichotomy to encompass phenomena in a broader way to avoid reductionist organizational analysis. For this, classical authors in the Social Sciences are listed for a dialogue about socio-organizational dynamics articulating subjects and their practices organizations and effects to interrelationships between agents that, in turn, crystallize in an institutional dimension and serve contradictorily to the subjective productions in the midst of socialization spaces. We adopt a critical perspective for addressing socio-historical character to the object of analysis, as well as for considering elementary contradictions in its everyday expression and processuality. Main contributions are around complexity as a mark of the conditions of social and subjective production, guiding future works not to simplify them, considering the conceptual variability about what is taken by social organization and its interpretations.
