This paper aims to empirically study the relationship and impact of Job Satisfaction on moonlighting intentions of IT professionals. The present significant theoretical foundation of this study is the ‘Attitudes and Alternatives Model’ (AAM) of Withdrawal Cognitions. This model explains turnover due to dissatisfaction in the broader aspect and its related antecedents (which also include searching for alternative employments and intending to moonlight) and the possible consequences. The population of the study was IT professionals having a minimum of two years of experience in the province of Tricity (Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula). To test the statistical and substantive significance, primary data from IT professionals have been collected through reliability-tested scales and analysed using SPSS 26.0. Purposive sampling has been used to select and collect data from the respondents who specifically belong to the target population of the present study.
