The approach used in this research is qualitative. Interviews, observations and documentation were used for data collection. There is 1 person who is a key informant and 5 employees as informants from PT. Khilfi Anugrah Ilahiy, a travel company. Researchers used data triangulation and interview reduction methods to analyze the data and finally get the findings. By comparing the theory used as the main frame (the theory of personal resources) with the findings of the researcher, it is obtained the results of this study that indicate that there were 3 informants who were able to manage their own resource management well, by utilizing their personal resources to manage a business which is another source of income. So, other sources of income are needed by employees to be able to survive the uncertainty of the job that has existed so far.
