Population was 1500 person of Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare that by using of 360 formula Cochran sampling and simple random sampling method, a sample of individuals were selected. Used ICTL questionnaires of Katze and Macklin with reliability (0.97), and self-directed learning questionnaire from Abili and Mazari(2014) with reliability(0.93).
Findings: The correlation results showed ICTL and SDL have positively correlated with each other (P<0.01). Results of regression showed, describing, managing and communicating as a component of ICTL have multiple correlations with self-directed learning and predicted 23% of their changes. Structural equation modeling showed that ICT literacy with path(γ=0.50), has been effect on self-directed learning.
Key words: ICT literacy, SDL, staff
