“…According to Mansour and Dean (2016), Technical skills are a must-have for any job. Employability determinants for graduates in the manufacturing sector were studied by Rasul et al (2013), who concluded that graduates in this field should place special emphasis on leadership and motivational skills (LMS) found low Rahman et al (2016). Graduate students have a hard time finding jobs due to low ambition, a lack of inventiveness, and a lack of leadership values.…”

“…Rasul et al (2013) investigated the graduate employability factors for the manufacturing industry and recognized that the graduates need to emphasize leadership & motivational skill (LMS) along with other qualities. Rahman et al (2016) identified that low motivational level, lack of creativity and leadership values are among the major weaknesses of the graduate students in getting employed. Subbu and Rajasekaran (2018) made an extensive literature survey on the employability skills in the Indian job market and commented that LMS has a widening impact on OGE: H5.…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify the factors that can affect the overall graduate employability (OGE) of the private university graduates of Bangladesh. The authors carefully selected six such employable factors after searching the existing literature. Those six factors: academic performance (AP), technical skills (TS), communication skills (CS), personality (PE), leadership & motivational skills (LMS); and teamwork and problem solving skills (TPSS), had been considered as the independent variables while OGE had been considered as the single dependent variable. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected the primary data from a valid sample of 360 employers through a structured questionnaire working as the hiring managers. Those respondents were selected on a random basis. The authors used exploratory factor analysis to validate the items under those independent variables and structural equation modeling with AMOS (24) to test the hypothesized relationship between each independent variable and the dependent one. Findings After proper statistical analysis, the results revealed that AP, PE, CS and TPSS can positively and significantly influence the OGE of Bangladeshi graduates while LMS and TS have positive but insignificant influence over OGE. Research limitations/implications Based on the findings, this paper can help scholars in further investigating the employability factors. Practical implications This explorative study will guide the fresh graduates in developing their required employability skills while assisting the employers in recruiting suitable candidates with the required skills and performance. Originality/value This is one of the few attempts that focused on the employability factors of private university graduates in Bangladesh. The authors are well confident that this empirical paper can shed some light on the fresh graduates’ employability and conducting further investigations on it.
