Moonlighting Intentions of Middle Level Employees Selected IT Companies

Abstract

Multiple-job holding is increased particularly in recent days. This phenomenon is more prevalent in IT companies because of the flexible working hours and work from home options offered by most of them. In this article, the authors examine drivers of multiple-job holding and its association with the demographic profile of IT professionals. The authors have examined the intentions for moonlighting and have suggested an empirical model. And an individual's engaged in a second job either for financial or for non-pecuniary motives. Our results contribute to a better understanding of multiple-job holding. We find that multiple-job holding is used by individuals as a way to deal with the financial problems or the increased financial obligations in their family and to satisfy the non-pecuniary priorities in their modern life. To test the significance, primary data has been collected by the reliability tested questionnaire is used as the instrument. Convenient sampling is the technique used to draw the samples from the population. This article finally resulted that the employees can spend time on their second job according to their free time but not under their motives. Finally their pecuniary and non-pecuniary motives and their total hours spend in their second job might be the deciding factor of moonlighting types and its extent.
