The past two decades have seen a growing scholarly focus on applying concepts and theories from the strategic management field to explain how project-based organisations initiate and deliver projects. In this study, we focus on the increasing application of the concept of organisational capabilities. We employ a semi-systematic literature review to investigate how the capability-based view has been adopted and adapted in the context of project organising research. The findings are first presented through traditional quantitative measures. Selected articles are then categorised in accordance to how theoretically grounded they are, and are further divided into three main research themes: capability identification, capability development, and capability and performance. On the basis of these themes, we synthesise what we see as key issues in progressing capability research in the project organising domain; and provide suggestions for how future research can be developed in order to make broader theoretical contributions, whilst also remaining practically relevant.

在过去的二十年里，学术界越来越关注应用战略管理领域的概念和理论来解释基于项目的组织如何启动和交付项目。在这项研究中，我们关注组织能力概念的日益应用。我们采用半系统的文献综述来研究如何在项目组织研究的背景下采用和调整基于能力的观点。这些发现首先通过传统的定量测量来呈现。选定的文章然后根据它们的理论基础进行分类，并进一步分为三个主要研究主题：能力识别、能力发展和能力与绩效。在这些主题的基础上，我们综合了我们认为在项目组织领域推进能力研究的关键问题；并就如何开展未来研究以做出更广泛的理论贡献提供建议，同时保持实际相关性。
