This study uses social capital theory to explain the power of social capital in mediating relationship between citizens’ behavior 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’ behavior and compliance in local governments. The findings revealed that social capital partially mediates the association between citizens’ behavior 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.
