N2 - The demand of attaining sustainable improvements of the contractors' performance has engendered a vast amount of studies aiming at advancing the project monitoring systems and organizational learning (OL) process in construction. Nevertheless, the respective research outputs remain dispersed and disjointed. As such, there is a genuine need to have a systematic framework not only to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the previous studies, but also to explore the future research directions in project monitoring and OL in a holistic manner. The purpose of this study is to develop such framework. Reviewing previous studies, there is a lack of systematic approach to synchronize monitoring results to organizational learning. Further investigations on the ways to transpire learning opportunities from the project monitoring system shall be instrumental to fulfil the industry's demand on attaining sustainable improvements of the contractors' performance.
