The study also sought to ascertain whether there is or not a significant relationship between knowledge management process capability and knowledge management performance. The study employed Survey method using questionnaire to gather primary data. The target populations of the study were employees of some selected banks in Oyo town, Oyo State of Nigeria. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested, using multiple regression, t-test, and analysis of variance and Pearson¡¯s Correlation method. The result of the study showed that knowledge management has positive influence on knowledge management performance. The study equally found out that there was main interaction effect of knowledge Management enablers and knowledge management process capability on knowledge management performance. The study found significant positive relationship between knowledge management enablers and knowledge management performance.
