This study examines how Experiential Learning contributes to Employability among Indonesian university students, testing the mediating role of Digital Skill and clarifying conceptual ambiguity regarding potential moderation effects. While the direct pathway is robust, inconsistent evidence regarding psychological moderators leaves the boundary conditions of this crucial educational relationship unresolved. A cross-sectional survey of 469 Indonesian university students with internship experience was conducted, analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results show Experiential Learning significantly enhances Work Readiness directly and indirectly via Digital Skill. Crucially, the hypothesized moderating role of Self-Efficacy was not supported, and Self-Efficacy had no direct effect on Work Readiness. These findings suggest that the experiential learning pathway operates as a stable, non-conditional mechanism. The study provides clarification on the pathway's robustness, demonstrating that psychological factors may offer limited explanatory value. It highlights the need to prioritize competence-based interventions and continuous improvement of experiential learning environments to boost graduate employability. © Journal of Global Business and Technology,.
