Lack of skilled workers has been reported to be a major and increasingly snowballing bottleneck to the operations of employers in developing countries, tumbling their ability to innovate. Management institutions have shouldered the responsibility of enabling MBA graduates to some extent on their student’s employability, yet the challenges on employability still exists. This study takes a close look at recent trends in research on MBA graduates’ perceived employability. By looking into the factors that influence employability, it aims to give a clear picture of the challenges, opportunities, and shifts shaping this evolving field. As competition rises and the economy changes fast, both academics and industry experts are paying more attention to how employable graduates feel they are. The study goes beyond just listing trends, it also highlights key collaborations, frequently discussed topics, and leading contributors in the field. It shows that improving employability requires a joint effort from academics, businesses, and policymakers. This research is intended to be a valuable resource for higher education institutions working to boost graduate employability, researchers interested in new study directions, and policymakers focused on enhancing labour market outcomes.
