This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on multigenerational work design using data retrieved from the Scopus database between 2005 and 2025. Using Bibliometrix (R) and VOSviewer, the study maps the conceptual, collaborative, and intellectual structures of the field through keyword co-occurrence, author and institutional collaboration networks, citation analysis, and temporal evolution mapping. The results reveal three major thematic clusters: workforce dynamics (leadership, workplace climate, work environment), generational characteristics (motivation, work values, millennials, personnel management), and intergenerational interaction (social support, human experience, relational factors). The overlay visualization indicates a shift from early descriptive studies of generational traits toward more applied research emphasizing workplace design, digital adaptation, and psychological well-being. Collaboration patterns show fragmented author communities but strong contributions from the United States, Australia, Canada, and India. Highly cited works in the field highlight foundational theories on generational differences, motivational diversity, and intergenerational relations. Overall, this study clarifies the intellectual foundations of multigenerational work research and identifies opportunities for interdisciplinary integration, cross-national collaboration, and applied organizational interventions.
