Moonlighting is elaborated as the act of working at another workplace except primary job place without telling your employer or boss of the main job about the side job you are working in. Adding more, moonlighting can also be informally called as side job that a person does in addition to their primary job for supplement their income. This is the word which is being in vogue after the pandemic as in the Covid-19 there was no sector left which was not been affected by this great disease. When globally the whole offline work was shut down because of the government restriction then the entry of online work was made to continue our work life. The teaching sector was also the sector which had to be through this phase. Classes, assignments, class test, revisions and even finals were taken online through different online platforms. With the introduction of online work teachers pressure were released to a great extent as teachers now had a lot more time which they can utilise by doing different work as a result many tutors at the pandemic time along with their primary jobs started new jobs in different sectors which included jobs like cooking, sewing, photography, painting, interior designing, handicraft, etc. and some of them even opened their own coaching centres or started tutoring at home. It is also seen that the teachers not only got indulged in moonlighting after pandemic but it is also seen that approximately 75 percentage of this sector were already in secondary jobs before even the pandemic. From here we can conclude that excess time or leisure time is not the only cause of teachers getting into moonlighting but it can be due to numerous reasons such as wanting multiple source of income, change of career, passion, creativity, dissatisfaction with present salary, no security in present job and many more factors are there which too contribute to the moonlighting more deeply. The research paper is original and has collected only primary data from teachers. The analysis is done by using statistical software SPSS and Chi-Square test. This research paper will shadow light on more deep facts and causes of moonlighting. And will further suggest different ways or methods by which moonlighting can be slower down.
