A Study Based on Grounded Theory about the Changes Experienced by Marriage-Immigrant Women after They Use Supporting Programs Provided to Marriage-Immigrant Women

This study aims to explore the changes experienced by marriage-immigrant women after they use programs intended to provide them support. To achieve the goals of this study, data were collected by in-depth interviews with nine marriage-immigrant women who have used or were at the time of the study using social welfare organizations, Multi-cultural Family Support Centers, or other private organizations. For the analysis of the data, the grounded theory approach by Strauss and Corbin[27] was employed. The results of an analysis of the categories are detailed below. Through an open coding process, a total of 187 concepts, 33 subcategories, and 15 categories were produced. The central phenomenon was 'having a strong desire to have a job'. From the axial coding, the causal conditions were 'using social welfare organizations', 'learning Korean', 'being employed for a short period of time', and 'registering for a qualification course'. Contextual conditions were 'being able to enjoy one's everyday life', 'achieving a qualification', and 'supportive or unsupportive family'. Intervention conditions were 'trying to gather information' and 'using different organizations'. Interaction strategies were 'making a specific plan' and 'trying to find a job'. Consequences were 'having been employed', 'keep preparing for being employed', and 'remaining a house wife'.
