description Culture in construction has recently received a lot of attention from practitioners and academia. The purpose of this study is to capture the map of culture in construction projects to provide the picture of culture in construction. This article conducted a two-stage review of culture in construction, including Scientometric analysis and content analysis. First, we carried out Scientometric analysis of 173 relevant articles (from 12 journals) to visualize the literature of culture in construction from 1989 to 2022. The results indicated that the high-published contributors of countries were Peoples R China, Australia, the USA, England, and Singapore. We also identified the critical institutions, high cited articles, keyword co-occurrence, cluster analysis, as well as the research interests and methods in this field. Moreover, we discussed the primary topics of culture in construction based on content analysis. More attention had been paid to the definition and measurement of culture in construction. The measurement of culture remains a promising and controversial area in the future due to the debate over quantitative or qualitative methods. Most of the current research studies use quantitative methods such as questionnaire surveys to explore culture in construction. In addition, scholars have called for exploring the formation of culture in construction which will help managers develop an appropriate culture within the project organisation, particularly in mega projects. This study offers the current state of culture in construction, as well as future trends that promote interdisciplinary collaboration in this area.
