Abstract
Why does one immigrant worker get involved in critical
learning whereas another does not? This study attempted to answer the
question by revealing how social ties of immigrant workers play a key role
in mediating critical learning to a particular political attitude. The results
of the study suggested that immigrant workers who showed a resistant
political attitude, which is linked to the process of critical learning, tended
to have more social ties and occupy more important socio-structural
positions in their network than other peer workers.
