Moonlighting and Employee Productivity

Abstract

The global economy & ecosystem are undergoing rapid transformations. In this era of economic upheaval, workers are more concerned with their personal financial security than with their career advancement. Because of this, they now have a second position with a separate business that pays better than their first. We might as well call what we have here employee moonlighting. Moonlighting has a variety of implications on an employee's work life as well as the employers' compliance policies. This study has led to comprehending few questions that arise from this activity of moonlighting, such as, is it proper that the individual works for two or more companies while keeping their current employer in the dark about it? How can businesses advise staff to support themselves financially so they don't engage in moonlighting? What if the employee is performing each task more effectively than before without interfering with any of them? As employee moonlighting activities transition from blue moon to full moon, all of these issues are very concerning.
