The purpose of the present study is to examine Indian American women’s experience of work engagement and contributions of self-identity acceptance, mental health, and workplace diversity climate. We surveyed 99 Indian American women who lived in the United States since the age of 8 years old and who endorsed dual cultural identities as a South Asian American woman. The results show that self-identity acceptance is positively related to work engagement through mediation of mental health. Implications of these results for future research, theory, and practice are discussed toward understanding and enhancing Indian American women’s self-acceptance, mental health, and work engagement.
