Abstract

Organizations are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence, thus changing the skills that graduate students must possess to be successful in employment. This is an empirical research that investigates the correlation between Business English Competence, AI Communication Skills, Self-Efficacy, and Employability of management students. A quantitative approach was preferred and 300 management students were suggested to be the primary data collection with the use of a structured questionnaire and purposive sampling was used. Data analysis methods used were descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, reliability analysis and multiple regression. The results suggest that Business English Competence and AI Communication Skills are significantly positively related as is also Business English Competence with Self Efficacy and Business English Competence with Employability. Self-Efficacy and then AI Communication Skills and Business English Competence were the strongest predictors for employability. This study emphasizes the necessity of making professional English communication, artificial intelligence ability, and self-confidence training all part of the curriculum in an employability-centered education system, with a focus on management institutions.
