Abstract

This study aims to review the construction of self-identity of migrant workers in the destination country. The methodology applied was interpretative paradigm with phenomenology approach. The subjects were selected by using purposive sampling technique. Then, the data were collected by using in depth-interview and analyzed by using descriptive qualitative research design. The result of the study showed that the subject who worked in Hong Kong had a good understanding towards the culture, the concept of migrant workers, the communication as well as problem-solving skill of destination country. It was proven by the self-identity construction of migrant workers. Meanwhile, few Malaysian and Saudi Arabian workers completely had implemented those concepts. The subjective dialectics in objective reality are more likely to occur to individuals who worked in Hong Kong due to social condition which is more transparent. The working system gives work off for all migrant workers to meet one another. Thus, the meeting among subjects might strengthen the construction of self-identity. Therefore, the subjects who actively interpret the experience and environment vis-à-vis personal experience could strongly enforce their social construction.
