The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of self-directed learning ability on relationship between protean career attitude and subjective career success for small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs)’employees. This study used a survey questionnaire which consisted of three parts, Protean Career Attitudes Scale(Briscoe, Hall, & DeMuth, 2006), Self-Directed Learning Ability Inventory(Bae & Lee, 2010), Subjective Career Success Scale(Career Satisfaction Scale: Greenhaus, Parasuraman, & Wormley, 1990; Job Satisfaction Scale: Mobley, Jaret, Marsh, & Lim, 1994; Employability Inventory: Johnson, 2001). Using the survey questionnaire, data were collected from 260 employees who participated in Core Job Competencies Development Program implemented by Human Resource Development Service of Korea. The results were as follows: First, there were positive inter-correlations between protean career attitude, self-directed learning ability, and subjective career success for SMEs’ employees. Second, protean career attitude had a direct effect on subjective career success, while self-directed learning ability had a mediating effect between protean career attitude and subjective career success. Based upon these results, some implications were discussed in terms of HRD theory and practice.
