This paper shows the results of a study that examine the relationships between OLC’s dimensions (shared vision and mission, organisational culture, teamwork cooperation, transfer of knowledge, systems thinking, leadership, employees skills and competencies, ICT) and knowledge performance. A set of questionnaire was personally distributed to academic librarians in selected university libraries in Malaysia. A total of 186 (78%) of the respondents returned the questionnaire for further analysis. Result showed that all the dimensions were correlated with the degree of weak to moderate correlation with knowledge performance. The results also indicated that employees’ skills and competencies was moderately correlated with knowledge performance (p < 0.01, r = 0.637). The outcome of the study is expected to assist the librarians and academic libraries for improving the skills of acquiring knowledge and learning capabilities toward enhancing the knowledge performance.
