This study aims to examine the moderating effect of work-life balance perception on the relationship between job autonomy, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among professional ballet dancers. To achieve this goal, a survey (April - June 2024) was conducted among 151 professional ballet dancers (employed, freelance, temporary, and part-time) residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The results (PLS SEM) reveal that job autonomy has a statistically significant positive impact on both job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and that job satisfaction, in turn, positively affects organizational commitment. However, while work-life balance perception has a statistically positive effect on job satisfaction, it negatively moderates the relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction. These findings suggest that although professional ballet dancers place high value on autonomy within their organizations, their demand for work-life balance may, paradoxically, detract from job satisfaction when both autonomy and work-life balance are highly prioritized.
