The objective of this study is to examine the sensitivity of knowledge-based capital management on the performance of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study are: to ascertain the effect of human capital efficiency; structural capital efficiency; and relational capital efficiency on the return on capital employed by deposit money banks in Nigeria from 2012 to 2021. The study adopted an <em>ex-post facto</em> research design, and data were generated from the audited annual reports. Panel-corrected standard errors (PCSEs) regression was used to analyse the data. The results revealed statistically significant positive effects of human capital efficiency on return on capital employed by DMBs in Nigeria; and a significant negative effect of structural capital and relational capital efficiencies on return on capital employed by DMBs in Nigeria. These findings imply that human capital drives efficiency in knowledge-based capital; however, proper integration of all components of knowledge capital in a coherent knowledge management strategy is desirable.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={European Journal of Science, Innovation and Technology}, author={Eze, Charles Uzodinma and Okwo, Mary Ifeoma and Onyemenam, Chinedu Micheal}, year={2023}, month={May}, pages={137-150} }
