Abstract
This study uses social capital theory to explain the power of social capital in mediating
relationship between citizens’ behaviour and compliance in local governments. The
research builds on past studies that used citizenship, agency and stewardship theories to
examine the mediating role of social capital in the association between citizens’
behaviour and compliance in local governments. The findings revealed that social
capital partially mediates the association between citizens’ behaviour and compliance.
This article urges citizens to come together, leveraging on social capital to garner
critical mass to drive compliance. The study findings present both policy and managerial
implications.
