<p>This study seeks to identify the determinants of moonlighting among lecturers of<br />Cameroonian state universities. To do this, we apply a log-linear model to data from a<br />random sample survey of lecturers from Cameroonian state universities. The results show<br />that in addition to the classical determinants of moonlighting (hours of work in the main job,<br />pay in the primary job, pay in the secondary job) gender and the localization of the university<br />also play major roles. Descriptive statistics also show that moonlighting lowers the quality of<br />lectures. Incentives from the government are therefore proposed as a means of reducing the<br />phenomenon of moonlighting in Cameroonian state universities.</p>
