Abstract
Moonlighting in Human Resource Management refers to the practice of employees taking on a second job or engaging in additional work outside of their primary employment. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly common in the workforce, and it presents both opportunities and challenges for HR professionals.On the one hand, moonlighting can provide employees with additional income, skills development, and a sense of fulfilment from pursuing their passions. It can also benefit employers by allowing them to tap into new talent pools and increase employee engagement.However, moonlighting can also lead to conflicts of interest, decreased productivity, and potential legal issues related to overtime and work hour regulations. HR managers must strike a delicate balance between promoting employee autonomy and protecting the interests of their organization.In this context, it is important for HR professionals to develop clear policies and guidelines around moonlighting, communicate them effectively to employees, and ensure that they are enforced consistently. By balancing the needs of both employees and employers, HR managers can help to create a work environment that is conducive to growth, innovation, and success.
