The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing self-learning of employees working remotely in Japanese enterprises. Remote working was spread rapidly among Japanese enterprises following the spread of COVID-19 in 2020. It is seemed to remote working has changed employees' self^-learning and their perspective on their careers. We conducted a web-based survey of 1063 full-time employees (991 of whom were valid responses) working remotely in Japanese enterprises. We analyzed the relationship between employees' perceptions of developmental HR practices (PDHRP) and their protean career orientation, and their self-learning of 899 employees who aged 31 or older. Path analysis revealed that PDHRP had a positive impact on self-learning, and employees' protian career orientation partially mediated the impact of PDHRP on self-learning. When implementing remote work in the future, enterprises need to provide developmental HR practices to support for employees not to undermine employees' development opportunities.
