In this paper, we study the $J/ψ(Υ)$ production in Z boson decay in color-singlet model(CSM). We calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD correction to $Z \to Quarkonium+Q\bar{Q}$, the dominant contribution in the CSM, with the vector and axial-vector parts in $ZQ\bar{Q}$ vertex being treated separately. The results show that the vector and axial-vector parts have the same K factor (the ratio of NLO result to leading-order result) 1.13 with the renormalization scale $μ$=2$m_c$ and $m_c=1.5GeV$, and the K factor falls to 0.918 when applying the Brodsky, Lepage, and Mackenzie(BLM) renormalization scale scheme with obtained $μ_{BLM}=2.28GeV$ and $m_c=1.5$GeV. By including the contributions from the next-dominant ones, the photon and gluon fragmentation processes, the branching ratio for $Z \to J/ψ_{prompt}+X$ is $(7.3 \sim 10.0)\times 10^{-5}$ with the uncertainty consideration for the renormalization scale and Charm quark mass. The results are about half of the central value of the experimental measurement 2.1$\times10^{-4}$. Furthermore, the $J/ψ$ energy distribution in our calculation is not well consistent with the experimental data. Therefore, even at QCD NLO, the contribution to $Z \to J/ψ_{prompt}+X$ from the CSM can not fully account for the experimental measurement. And there should be contributions from other mechanisms, such as the color-octet(COM) contributions. We define $R_{c\bar{c}}=\frac{Γ(Z \to J/ψc\bar{c}X)}{Γ(Z \to J/ψX)}$ and obtain $R_{cc}=0.84$ for only CSM contribution and $R_{cc}=0.49$ for COM and CSM contributions together. Then $R_{cc}$ measurement could be used to clarify the COM contributions.
