Description
This qualitative study aims to explore the multifaceted phenomenon of employee moonlighting among individuals in Kuching, Sarawak. Amidst a transforming workforce and rising living costs, the research seeks to understand the primary motivations driving employees to engage in secondary employment, the impacts of moonlighting on their primary jobs and personal lives and the strategies they employ to balance these competing demands. Utilizing semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study intends to provide in-depth insights into the experiences of moonlighting employees. The findings are expected to hold significant theoretical implications by enriching the understanding of employee behavior and practical implications by informing organizational policies, enhancing employee retention, and preparing Human Resource Development (HRD) for future workforce trends in the evolving gig economy.
