This study aims to study the relationship between information self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behaviours among students in higher education. The data collected used questionnaires and distributed via a Google form. This paper aims to study the correlation between Information Self-Efficacy and Knowledge Sharing Behaviour among higher education students. The respondents of this study were students from public higher education institutions in Terengganu enrolled in diploma and degree programs whose ages ranged from 18 – 30 years old. 266 returned responses were used for the analysis, using SPSS version 27. The study aims to answer research questions on whether there is any relationship between Information Self-Efficacy and Knowledge Sharing Behaviour. The findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between Information Self-Efficacy and Knowledge Sharing Behaviour at the 0.01 level (2-tailed) where r = 0.597, indicating that as students’ information self-efficacy increases, their knowledge sharing behaviour inclines to increase. The finding supports the hypothesis that information self-efficacy positively influences knowledge sharing behaviour among students in higher education institutions.
