N2 - The construction management literature has made significant strides in studying productivity in construction projects. However, it is challenging to examine the general characteristics of the growing body of literature relevant to this topic because of its diversity. The objectives of this paper are (1) to examine the trends and evolution of research on quantitative analysis of construction productivity; and (2) to suggest a roadmap for future research on quantifying productivity in construction projects. To achieve these objectives, this research performed a systematic literature review, resulting in identifying 84 substantively relevant articles. Subsequently, it conducted a bibliometric analysis to explore the general characteristics of the selected articles, such as conceptual and social structures, year of publications, citations, and journal specialty. This research contributes to the literature by providing useful information about research capacity and how the quantitative research on productivity in construction projects has progressed, in turn assisting construction management scholars and practitioners in shaping the future directions on this topic.
