Multiple job holding or holding an additional job besides the main job is a method that many individuals apply for career development or psychological satisfaction as well as dealing with financial difficulties. In this study, the determinants of multiple job holding in Turkish labor market are estimated using micro data from Labor Force Statistics for 2014-2018, by means of a probit model. Financial requirements are the main determinants of holding a secondary job. Employees with low income in their main job and with higher financial responsibilities (such as married people) hold multiple jobs. Additional jobs also serve as an insurance against income fluctuations. Employees who do not work in a paid position and those who work in a temporary job reduce the risk of falling income or unemployment by working in an additional job.

Birden Fazla İşte Çalışmanın Belirleyicileri: Türkiye Örneği

Öz

Birden fazla işte çalışma ya da esas işin yanında ek bir işte çalışma birçok bireyin finansal zorluklarla başa çıkmanın yanı sıra kariyer geliştirme ya da psikolojik tatmin için uyguladığı bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye işgücü piyasasında birden fazla işte çalışmanın belirleyicileri, 2014-2018 dönemine ilişkin Hane Halkı İşgücü Anketi mikro verileriyle Probit regresyonu yöntemi kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Tahmin sonuçlarına göre finansal gereklilikler ikinci bir işte çalışmanın ana belirleyicisi olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Ana işinde ücret geliri düşük olan çalışanlar ile mali sorumlulukları büyük olan çalışanlar (örneğin evliler) ek bir işte çalışmayı tercih etmektedir. Birden fazla işte çalışmak aynı zamanda gelir dalgalanmalarına karşı bir sigorta işlevi de görmektedir. Ana işinde ücretli pozisyonda çalışmayanlar ile geçici bir işte çalışanlar, gelirlerinin düşmesi ya da işsiz kalma riskini ek bir işte çalışarak azaltmaktadır.
