New Public Management (NPM) and policy capacity (PC) are key concepts in public administration, yet their relationship remains underexplored. This paper conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines to examine how NPM influences PC, using sources from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review reveals three main findings: (1) NPM can erode aspects of PC, (2) NPM may enhance PC if carefully implemented, and (3) existing PC supports successful NPM reforms. These findings highlight a complex, context-dependent relationship that warrants further empirical research to inform effective governance and public sector reform
