Because only that force contributes to work which is along the displacement (recall the definition of work done).
If force makes some angle with displacement only the cos component of that displacement contributes to work
force--->F
displacement---->x
As i said
x F cos theta= work done
so F.x=work(dot product means a scalar quantity)
Hope u got it.
