Human capital investment can be divided into two dimension, both “general human capital investment” and “sector-specific human capital investment”; and the individual career choice includes “job change in the current corporation”, “leaving to different corporation” and “going abroad.” We take the self-efficacy as the mediator in our study, and discuss whether the human capital investment will affects the individual career choice through the mediator. The source of the questionnaire is “2010 labor life and employment status research” in SRDA. Total of 4,138 samples are secondary data. According to our result, we found that both general human capital investment and sector-specific human capital investment impact on parts of the individual career choice; and both general human capital investment and sector-specific human capital investment impact on self-efficacy; besides, some of the self-efficacy Impact on parts of the individual career choice. However, self-efficacy only be a complete mediation between sector-specific human capital investment and the individual career choice-leaving to different corporation. In practice, our research found that organizations can invest in sector-specific human capital more; at the same time managers should help organizations to identify the gaps between organizational goals and the human capital, to make the organizations have the true training decisions. Also, employees have to identity their interests before they invest in their human capital.
