Moonlighting: Personal, Social, and Organizational Consequences

The present study examined the difference between moonlighters and non-moonlighters on a number of personally-, socially-, and organizationally-valued outcomes among blue-collar workers (N = 285) and among firefighters (N = 252). Results obtained from ANOVAs and discriminant analysis appeared to be more supportive of the energic/opportunity hypothesis of moonlighters than of the deprivation/constraint hypothesis. Implications of the findings are highlighted for management and practitioners.
