The Intellectual and Conceptual Foundations of Moonlighting – A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

Moonlighting or holding multiple jobs simultaneously to realize a boundary-less career is a trending labor market phenomenon. Factors like the rise of the gig economy in the present digital age, socioeconomic disparities, and psychological factors like motivation, etc., have been some of its key drivers. The advent of remote working as a global response to sustain business activity amid COVID-19 has also acted as a catalyst to amplify this trend further. This research leverages a bibliometric approach to analyze the past body of knowledge through the R Package to illustrate emerging themes and avenues for future research.
