This study set up a few variables; interpersonal skill described on effective personal resource in social context, self-management focused on voluntary regulation of individual behavior, career satisfaction represented as a positive evaluation on career and gender as a remarkable conditional variables in awareness of career outcome. We tested two types of main effects, mediating effects, and conditional indirect effects empirically. The data collected from 335 employees working at service and state-owned companies in Jeju province. We used SPSS Macro to test main effects, mediating effects with model 4, and moderated mediation effects with model 7. Interpersonal skill were positively related to self-management and career satisfaction respectively. In the mediation process, self-management were partially mediated the links between interpersonal skill and career satisfaction, in addition, the conditional indirect effect of gender in the path of interpersonal skill on career satisfaction via self-management was significant. These results indicated that a personal resource facilitates career development and self-regulation activities and it enable to be a main driver in the psychological mechanism in the basis of self-regulation.
