Abstract
Ethnicity consists of a set of perceived boundaries created through a long process of social construction. It allows people to critically think of their social world and their position in that world. Ethnic diversity could facilitate intercultural dialogues and teamworks but it could also lead people into vigilant society where one group over-anticipates what another group are able to do. This is, however, the result of the dynamics of the construction of identity that relates to ethnicity as one of it major pillars. This paper, thus, aims at analyzing the identity construction among people in ethnic organizations settings. The concept of I and Me, once popularized by Mead, is utilized as a framework by which identity constructions of social actors in the setting of ethnic organizations are understood. Keywords : ethnicity, organization, and Herbert Mead.
