Abstract: Many firms can now achieve high employee performance thanks to self-motivated working cultures. Employee behaviour and job satisfaction at the organisational climate level have been extensively studied. Academics need job dedication and satisfaction to boost productivity, student advancement, retention, and cognitive and personal growth. Academic independence, creativity, professional commitment, and job joy are examined in this study. This research will examine the relationship between these factors. The study tested work-life balance theories for Chennai's private professional teachers. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and 353 were analysed. The model's validity and reliability were assessed using multivariate statistics. Data was analysed using structural equation modelling for normalcy, reliability, and discriminant validity. Results demonstrated that employment independence boosts creativity, dedication, and satisfaction. All components boost job happiness. Freedom at work and job commitment facilitated creativity, supporting the mediation hypothesis. The results also showed that job dedication mediates flexibility at work and job happiness. Workplace independence increases worker satisfaction, creativity, and commitment, according to the study. This research greatly improves our understanding of academic workplace dynamics.
