Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting self-directed learning of workers. For this purpose, 335 workers were surveyed in two cities in the northwestern part of Chungcheongnamdo. The research was carried out by difference test to identify the diffrence of self-directed learning according to general characteristics and by correlation analysis of main variables. Also in order to identify the effect of hope and growth mindset on self-directed learning, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted by diving the group into employee-level and higher employee-level. The main results are as follows. First, Self-directed learning differed by gender. Second, correlation analysis revealed that hope, growth mindset and self-directed learning were positively correlated. Third, regression analysis showed that the pathway thinking of hope and the intelligence of the growth mindset influenced self-directed learning of employee-level workers. And it showed that the pathway thinking of hope influenced self-directed learning of higher employee-level workers. Finally, we discussed policies to enhance workers' self-directed learning based on positions.
