Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide empirical analysis on the effect of Work-Life Balance(WLB) on career commitment and turnover intention in smart work environments. Work-life balance was divided into work-family balance, work-leisure balance, and work-growth balance. The effects of each subdimension of WLB on career commitment and the effect of career commitment on turnover intentions were examined. The subjects of the survey were 217 validated sample of airline cabin crew who are working forairlines in korea and analyzed by structural equation. AMOS 18.0, which is the statistical tool for structural equation modeling, and SPSS 18.0 were used for hypothesis tests and data description in this research. This research tried to figure out structural and causal relationships among work life balance, career commitment and turnover intention. The results of this study are as follows. Analyzing the first hypothesis, it was found that work-leisure balance and work-growth balance had positive influence on career commitment. On the other hand, the work-family balance showed that there was no meaningful effect on career commitment. Analyzing the second hypothesis, it was found that career commitment had a negative effect on turnover intention. Therefore, it can be seen that the provision of various welfare programs and institutional arrangements such as leisure, growth friendly policies can increase the career commitment of the workers for the work life balance. The higher the worker"s commitment to work experience by staying in the organization for a long time, the more likely it will be to decrease turnover intention in smart work environments.
