Issues in compliance with building requirements are a global issue. Recent studies indicated that compliance issues were closely linked to building stakeholders’ diverse compliance behaviour. However, investigation on such in recent research has been seldomly found. One reason was that behavioural studies required methodological rigour to ensure research quality which has been rarely known or investigated. Hence, the present study aims to provide a methodological review to assess the methodological quality of behavioural studies concerning compliance with building requirements. A five-step systematic literature review was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science. The resulting 14 journal articles were reviewed based on four methodological quality assessment dimensions: theoretical adequacy, conceptualization, operationalization, and population and sampling. Findings suggested that the overall methodological quality of the articles was not high. Though 71.5% of the articles indicated a low risk of bias in terms of theoretical adequacy, approximately 65% demonstrated moderate and weak quality in conceptualization, operation, and sampling process of the research. Specifically, more than half of the articles did not provide a clear definition or example of compliance to their study participants, and almost half of the research did not conduct pilot tests or consider the adequacy of the sample size and representativeness. The study contributed by filling the research gap by providing an overview of the methodological quality of compliance behaviour studies and recommendations to address the above-identified issues.
