The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between dispositional employability in job search behaviors and the length of unemployment after graduation, thus contributing to the understanding of the relationships between employability characteristics that have proved important in the working context in Croatia and finding a job in the competitive labour market, among a group of young highly educated people who are disadvantaged in the labor market due to their lack of work and practical experience. The survey sample consisted of 815 young people with a university degree. The survey was conducted through an online questionnaire in the LimeSurvey system, and in this thesis besides the Dispositional Employability Scale, we took into consideration sociodemographic variables, profession, year of graduation, length of unemployment after graduation and the job-seeking behavior. The results of this study show that respondents who achieve higher scores on work self-efficacy and proactivity start looking for work earlier, during their studies. However, the relationship between dispositional employability and length of unemployment was not confirmed in this study. The only statistically significant predictor of the length of unemployment was the year of graduation. Respondents who completed their studies more recently were on average shorter unemployed.
