Knowledge sharing is a social interaction among individuals. Past studies focused mainly on reward system particularly monetary. This may be true for individuals working in organizations. However, there have not been many empirical studies that analyses why students share knowledge as there is no monetary rewards at stake. Thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of the non-monetary factors (such as enjoy helping others, reputation, self efficacy, interpersonal trust, humility) on knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, the study also analyses the role of religiosity on knowledge sharing behavior and non monetary factors. Empirical data was collected using a questionnaire. The result found that non monetary factors such as enjoyment of helping others, self efficacy, interpersonal trust have a significant impact on knowledge sharing while reputation does not. In addition, it was discovered that religiosity plays a moderating role in the relationship between nonmonetary factors and knowledge sharing behaviour.
