In this study, we explore the identity-related factors for ethnic minorities to navigate barriers that may prevent them from professional advancement into higher levels of an organization. Given that immigrant professionals have multiple social identities, i.e. professionals vs. ethnic minorities, we are motivated to investigate how the multiple social identities can be managed to pursue a career development goal. In particular, acknowledging self-employment as a means for immigrant professionals to increase the chances of career success outside of traditional organizations, we attempt to figure out the factors for self-employment. Drawing from social identity theories, we focus on family capital and ethnic salience as constraints for self-employment. Using a sample of 945 ethnic minorities in the legal profession in the U.S., we found that family capital let the immigrant lawyers stay at the traditional law firms, and further, ethnic salience reinforces the negative relationship between family capital and self-employment. We discuss the implications for the immigrant self-employment literature and suggest further research.
