Background. The article draws readers' attention to the potential significance of works of selected Polish sociologists for the historical approach in Management and Organizational Studies (MOS). The reasons for the lack of interest in history, which is typical of management scholars (except for business historians), are outlined, and the phenomenon of "historical turn" in MOS as a counterpoint of the mentioned phenomenon is discussed.
Research aims. The central theme of the article is constituted by the thesis that the "historical turn" cognitively corresponds to the earlier conceptions which were developed by Kazimierz Dobrowolski. The article also highlights the internationally renowned works of Jerzy Zubrzycki and Aleksander Matejko, which are deeply rooted in the Polish historical experience.
Methodology. The analysis was based on studies of literature on the subject and the publication of selected sociologists.
Key findings. The article shows that that the works of mentioned sociologists offer an integral method assuming a holistic nature of social reality, postulating a combination of functional and historical approaches as well as the use of materials obtained through field research and document studies.
