This paper discusses the importance of decolonial narratives, in particular in the field of history of psychology. We consider the initial results of a recently published empirical study investigating the different styles of management within the scope of labor in Rio de Janeiro between 1949 and 1965 through the analysis of the publications of the journal Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicologia. Results pointed to an inadequacy between the interpretations of the management styles that operate, on the one hand, in the Anglo-North American scenario and, on the other, in Rio de Janeiro. The discussion of this article focuses on this inadequacy, highlighting differences between how colonial and decolonial narratives conceive the relationship between empirical data and intelligibility matrices and the historiographical and methodological consequences of this relationship.
