Work is the product of a force and a displacement. Both of those are vectors.
There are two ways to multiply vectors. One of them produces another vector,
the other produces a scalar. The calculation for 'work' uses the scalar product.
The procedure is:
(magnitude of one vector) times (magnitude of the other vector) times (cosine of the angle between them).
Work is a scalar because it is "defined" to be the "scalar product" of force and displacement, w=f.d= -fd cos(a). The product of force and displacement vectors has two products, w = f.d + fxd = -fdcos(a) + fdsin(a) . The vector product is called torque and the scalar product is called work.
Physics needs to recognize that the quaternions are the numbers of the Universe. That is the Universe is composed of real and vector numbers i.e. quaternions.
Work is a scalar quantity.
Work done is the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance. It is a scalar quantity.
Work is a scalar.

it is a scalar quantity
Scalar quantity.
Force cannot be a scalar quantity.
scalar direction is a vector quantity
vector
Temperature is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude but not direction.
Electric potential is a scalar quantity since work done and charge are scalars
