Abstract
The global economic landscape and environment are undergoing rapid transformations, prompting changes in human resource management (HRM) practices. The rise of flexible work arrangements, such as remote work and work-from-home options, offered primarily by IT companies, has led to a surge in moonlighting—where individuals take on secondary jobs to meet financial demands or to earn additional income. This shift reflects a growing concern among employees for financial stability rather than career growth amid economic uncertainties. Employees often work beyond their primary employment for extra compensation, impacting their work-life balance and employers’ compliance policies. The phenomenon of moonlighting in the IT sector has become a point of concern, especially regarding its effects on efficiency. This study also looks at the prevalence of moonlighting in the IT industry and the connection between employees’ primary and secondary jobs. Is it feasible for employees to work for multiple companies without their employer’s knowledge? How can organizations provide financial support to reduce the appeal of moonlighting? What if employees could manage multiple roles efficiently without compromising any of them? Understanding when employees shift from occasional to full moonlighting is crucial for addressing these concerns.
