The term "moonlighting" refers to the practice of holding two or more jobs at different organizations at the same time. Employees moonlight for different reasons, including extra cash, paying off debt, starting a business, and leisure. Low salaries and economic hardships are commonly stated as grounds for moonlighting. Many people believe moonlighting will lead to poor performance, absenteeism, weariness, and career conflicts. Moonlighting has become such a challenge for Human Resource Management that it necessitates numerous thoughtful interventions to ensure employees' effective work performance while also supporting their opportunities for self-growth and development.
