We investigate properties of order compact, unbounded order compact and relatively uniformly compact operators acting on vector lattices. An operator is said to be order compact if it maps an arbitrary order bounded net to a net with an order convergent subnet. Analogously, an operator is said to be unbounded order compact if it maps an arbitrary order bounded net to a net with uo-convergent subnet. After exposing the relationships between order compact, unbounded order compact, semicompact and GAM-compact operators; we study those operators mapping an arbitrary order bounded net to a net with a relatively uniformly convergent subnet. By using the nontopological concepts of order and unbounded order convergences, we derive new results related to these classes of operators.
