摘　　要：A project is a specific effort to create a unique product,so it is a favorable place for knowledge creation and development.Knowledge can be transferred inside and outside projects and their parent project-based organizations,thus affecting project performance and organizational competitiveness.However,the current research on the elements and outcomes of knowledge transfer(KT)in the project environment lacks completeness and clarity,and that on the different levels of KT is fragmented.This study aims to conduct comprehensive research to determine and link the elements and outcomes of KT in the project environment.The authors systematically analyzed the relevant literature from 2000 to 2021,which showed an increasing publication trend.They divided KT in the project environment into three levels according to the transfer scenario:Intra-project,cross-project,and cross-organizational KT.Five-dimensional transfer elements and two-dimensional transfer outcomes were then identified and analyzed from previous literature.Lastly,the relationships between the transfer elements and outcomes were gathered to create a comprehensive model.Importantly,the knowledge gap in the current literature was highlighted,and future research directions were put forward.This study builds a theoretical framework linking transfer elements to outcomes that can serve as a basis for scholars and practitioners to develop effective strategies for KT in the project environment.
