Abstract

The rapid growth of technology has led to changes in today’s workforce. Malaysia has witnessed a rise in graduate underemployment, which threatens the country's economic goals. Although employability research is extensive, studies focusing on Islamic banking and finance graduates remain limited. This study examines the relationship between digital literacy, CareerEDGE predictors, self-efficacy as a mediator, and graduate employability. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among recent graduates of Islamic banking and finance in Malaysia to identify factors that enhance employability in the digital economy. The results provide insightful information for policymakers, educators, and industry stakeholders to enhance employability outcomes.
