An integrative literature review: Tracing employee moonlighting as a thriving phenomenon

Abstract

This review article is primarily concerned with exploring the concepts of employee moonlighting, its trends, the benefits and drawbacks associated with multiple job-holding, and the common reasons for employee moonlighting. In pursuit of this, it reviews, evaluates, and integrates previously published studies to create and elaborate the overall understanding of the subject. This paper critically evaluates earlier research on the subject and identifies the gaps in the body of knowledge. The approach employed for the literature review was integrative. The necessary pieces of literature were summarized using appropriately organized headings and subheadings after being theoretically reviewed. Finally, this review article identifies prospective lines of inquiry for potential researchers in the theme.
