The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence self-directed learning readiness. Data were gathered from 120 employee’s from one organization in Perak, Malaysia. Quantitative research methodology is used in this research and the data were collected using questionnaires as the instrument. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were reported, followed by reliability analysis,Spearman’s correlation and hypothesis testing using stepwise multiple regression. The findings have shown that there is a strong relationship between all the four factors (proactive personality, career ambition, job autonomy, task variety) and self-directed learning readiness in the workplace.
