Organizational capabilities have emerged as a pivotal area in construction project management due to their role in achieving strategic alignment, improving performance, and responding to dynamic challenges. However, the rapid expansion of this literature has occurred without a consolidated understanding of its intellectual structure, conceptual boundaries, and thematic evolution. This study conducts a systematic bibliometric review of 231 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2010 and 2024 to examine research development, thematic trends, and the intellectual architecture of organizational capabilities in construction projects. The analysis employed PRISMA-guided bibliometric techniques using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. The literature was clustered into major research streams, including organizational and dynamic capabilities, construction project management, innovation, building information modeling (BIM), risk management, and sustainability. The findings reveal a clear shift toward performance-driven, technology-oriented, and knowledge-based capability research. Finally, the study identifies future research directions, including the need to address underexplored areas such as front-end planning, AI-based capabilities, stakeholder and cost management, and the empirical validation of existing theoretical frameworks. It also underscores the importance of more context-sensitive and application-oriented studies that better align theoretical insights with professional practice in the construction sector.
