Foreign-born Asian workers have faced struggles and discrimination due to challenges related to language and cultural differences in the U.S. workplace. However, little is known about how linguistic profiling impacts their identity work while developing their careers in the U.S. workplace from an intersectional perspective. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of linguistic profiling on the career development and intersectional identity work of Asian foreign-born workers in the United States, utilizing AsianCrit and psychology of working theory as a theoretical framework and narrative inquiry as a research method. This study will contribute to advancing career scholarship by providing insights into the nuanced identity work and career development strategies employed by Asian foreign-born workers to navigate and resist systemic barriers in the U.S. workplace.
