Abstract
Background: Freelancing has become an increasingly profitable prospect for many working professionals, especially those who want to work on their terms, as it provides benefits and experiences unparalleled to those workers in full-time employment. Purpose: Captivated by varied experiences and life stories, the researchers aimed at exploring the factors that contribute and shape the lived experiences of the Filipino freelance workers in Qatar. Method: Utilizing phenomenology as a research design, the researchers chose seven respondents via qualitative purposive sampling with set criteria. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview. The results were analyzed using the inductive approach: audio recording of the conversations, transcribing the results from emic to etic observing cool to warm analysis, and member checking to validate the instrument used. Findings: Findings have revealed essential factors that contribute to the lived experiences of the Filipino freelance workers as specified in terms of familial (finance, support, and freedom), social (self-esteem, impartiality, and influence), and personal (contentment, pride, and happiness) aspects. These further imply that the road to freelancing may be bumpy, but it promises opportunities and advantages. Conclusion: Notwithstanding the benefits of having formal employment, there are still Filipino expatriates in Qatar who have opted to venture into freelancing due to different reasons and circumstances.
