Abstract
While many studies have examined factors affecting graduate employability, few have examined the effects of stakeholders’ psychological perceptions. Uncovering the moderating effects of employability skills and experience becomes critical. This study examines the psychological perceptions of graduate programs, graduate employability modelling, interpersonal competencies, and the employability skills and experience required to produce sector-relevant personnel for the banking sector. Using structural equation modelling, we examine the relationships between the subject variables. 453 students and 33 lecturers were surveyed, and data sheets from a skills inventory were given to a random sample of 23 bank human resource managers in North Lebanon. The findings support the theory of beneficial interaction effects between interpersonal competencies and graduate employability.
