The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of self-directed learning ability on the relationship between HRD consultant's positive psychological capital and subjective career success. To achieve the purpose of this study, the web-based survey was conducted with 236 HRD consultants in HRD consulting corporations in Korea. The survey instrument consisted three main parts of Psychological Capital Questionnaire(Luthans, Youssef & Avolio, 2007), Self-Directed Learning Ability Inventory(Bae & Lee, 2010) and Subjective Career Success Scale(Career Satisfaction Scale: Greenhaus, Parasuraman, & Wormley, 1990; Job Satisfaction Scale: Mobley, Jaret, Marsh, & Lim, 1994; Employability Inventory: Johnson, 2001). The results were as follows: First, there were positive inter-correlations among positive psychological capital, self-directed learning ability, and subjective career success of HRD consultants. Second, positive psychological capital had a direct effect on subjective career success, while self-directed learning ability had a mediating effect between positive psychological capital and subjective career success. Based upon these results, several suggestions were made to promote HRD consultants' psychological capital, self-directed learning ability, and subjective career success.
