This bibliometric analysis seeks to understand the evolution of teacher work culture (TWC) publications from 1993 to 2023. Keywords, authors, citations and geographic distribution from 3424 documents were extracted, with data from the SCOPUS database. Descriptive statistics and co-occurrence analysis were utilised to respond to the research questions. The findings identify an increasing interest in TWC research, with notable peaks in 2014 and 2022. The analysis uncovers that the United States, United Kingdom and Australia dominate the field in terms of contributions, with Hargreaves, Fullan and Day identified as the most influential authors. The analysis also reveals widespread research topics involving teacher preparation, continuous professional learning, cooperative work, the impact of educational reform and the influences of COVID-19 on teachers' lives and work, while the journal "Teaching and Teacher Education" leads in citations. These findings can serve as an outline for understanding trends in TWC research. It could also guide researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the field in identifying research gaps and planning for future studies.
