This study aims to carry out a bibliometric mapping of the scientific production built around organizational tensions, one of the central subjects of the international management literature. With the help of the Biblioshiny software (RStudio), a bibliometric analysis of the publications indexed in Scopus during the last 20 years was performed. The main results indicate an expected growth of academic production in the last five years. There is a predominance of qualitative and theoretical research, covering almost all analyzed studies. In addition, the work presents the most influential authors, countries, journals, and articles, highlighting motor and fundamental themes, trend topics, gaps, and research opportunities in the investigated field.
