    [abstract] => The Malaysian government has invested tremendous effort through various policies to address the issue of graduate employability for the past few decades. However, unemployment among recent graduates remains at an alarming stage, alerting academics and practitioners. Therefore, this study will examine the influence of career adaptability, digital literacy, and self-efficacy on graduate employability. In addition, job readiness has been incorporated as a mediator. Career Construction Theory is incorporated as an underpinning theory by targeting final-year business students in Malaysian universities. Moreover, this study is also expected to bridge the gap between higher education and industry's needs. The proposed conceptual framework is anticipated to provide a holistic framework for educational institutions to integrate into their curricula and support services to augment students' preparedness as future ready employees. This study is also expected to provide implications for policymakers' strategic planning to expand the employability of graduates in Malaysia, especially business graduates.
