Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the employment experiences of female Mongolian migrant workers in Korea and identify their meanings.
Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with eight such women using the phenomenological Colaizzi qualitative research approach.
Results: Six categories were drawn from the research: “Facing a dilemma when hitting the wall,” “Foreigners’ lives disrespected,” “Physically filled with wounds,” “Lonely, laborious, and sad,“ “Growing stronger and knowledgeable,” and “Happiness found in the workplace.”
Conclusion: The results of this study revealed the substantial meaning of the employment experience of female Mongolian migrant workers in Korea. The results of the study could provide basic data for offering such women various kinds of programs to support them psychologically and in their adjustment to their jobs. These programs would enhance their ability to adapt to both working and in Korea.
