代寫assignment范例-企業中的女性賦權。本文是一篇由本站提供的assignment寫作范例,主要內容是講述2017年3月9日,作者參加了愛爾蘭企業與愛爾蘭銀行和DCU聯合舉辦的一場關于女性領導力和成長抱負的活動。它在都柏林大學綠地的議會大廈舉行。Assignment提到這次演講是2017年企業周的一部分,旨在紀念國際婦女節。
本篇assignment的作者之所以選擇參加這項活動,是因為作者描述的五位女性都是榜樣。榜樣給了我們希望,有機會看到這么多成功的女性談論領導力、抱負和自己的個人職業生涯給了我希望,因為作者即將結束學業,進入商界。下面就一起來看一下這篇assignment寫作范文的具體內容。

“As women, we must stand up for ourselves. We must stand up for each other. We must stand up for justice for all” -Michelle Obama
“作為女性,我們必須捍衛自己。我們必須捍衛彼此。我們必須為所有人伸張正義”-米歇爾·奧巴馬
I chose to take part is this activity because each of the five women I described in the previous section are role models. Role models give us hope and having the opportunity to see so many successful women speak about leadership, ambition and their own personal careers gives me hope as I approach the end of my studies and move out into the world of business.
Hearing how their careers have progressed helps reduce my personal apprehension about failure. The closer our role models are to us as individuals, the greater the effect they can have. The best role models are normal people who became successful. Getting the opportunity to hear the details about how successful people have overcome obstacles is significant as it enables us to say to ourselves “such and such was in that situation and they made it, I can too!”
聽到他們的職業發展有助于減少我個人對失敗的擔憂。作為個人,我們的榜樣離我們越近,他們的影響力就越大。最好的榜樣是那些成功的普通人。有機會了解成功人士如何克服障礙的細節意義重大,因為這使我們能夠對自己說:“某個人在那種情況下,他們成功了,我也能!”
When role models fulfil their role, they can provide us with a range of benefits. For instance, they can provide a model for living and for getting to the point we want to be at in our lives. Speizer (1981) says “professionals must have had one, been one, or be seeking one if they are to advance their career.”
當榜樣發揮作用時,他們可以為我們提供一系列好處。例如,它們可以為我們的生活提供一個模式,并達到我們生活中想要達到的目標。Speizer說:“如果專業人士要推進他們的職業生涯,他們必須有一個,曾經是一個,或者正在尋找一個。”
Kemper (1968) described a role model as an individual who “possesses skills and displays techniques which the actor lacks … and from whom, by observation and comparison with his own performance the actor can learn”. Gibson (2004) stated that “The term ‘role model’ draws on two prominent theoretical constructs: the concept of role and the tendency of individuals to identify with other peoplea€| and the concept of modelling, the psychological matching of cognitive skills and patterns of behaviour between a person and an observing individual”. Organisational behaviour and career theorists have suggested that identification with role models is critical to individual growth and development (Hall, 1976; Schein, 1978; Speizer, 1981). Individuals are urged to seek role models who can help them achieve their goals (Lockwood & Kunda, 1997). Douvan (1976) asserted that role models could be important regarding professional development, “but we must take it on faith because identification and modelling have [not] been studied systematically except in pre-school children.” Little had changed almost two decades later, Javidan et al. (1995) similarly argued that “empirical research on role models is scant, and little is known of what contributes to an individual being perceived and accepted as a successful role model.”
Kemper將榜樣描述為“擁有演員所缺乏的技能和技巧……通過觀察和與自己的表演進行比較,演員可以從中學習”的個人。Gibson指出,“‘榜樣’一詞借鑒了兩個突出的理論結構:角色的概念和個人認同他人的傾向,以及建模的概念,即一個人和觀察者之間認知技能和行為模式的心理匹配”。組織行為和職業理論家認為,認同榜樣對個人成長和發展至關重要。敦促個人尋求能夠幫助他們實現目標的榜樣。Douvan斷言,榜樣對職業發展可能很重要,“但我們必須相信這一點,因為除了學前兒童之外,識別和建模還沒有得到系統的研究。”近20年后,幾乎沒有什么變化,Javidan等人同樣認為,“對榜樣的實證研究很少,對是什么促使個人被視為成功的榜樣知之甚少。”
Role models might be a figure with whom the individual is not personally familiar, for example people like Richard Branson or Mark Zuckerberg. Alternatively, it can someone more personal, for example, the role model might be someone in the individual’s life, like a family member or friend. Following Gibson’s (2004) theory on role models, it suggests that individuals are drawn to role models who are perceived to be similar in terms of their characteristics, behaviour or goals (the role aspect), and from whom they are able to learn certain abilities or skills (the model aspect).
榜樣可能是個人不熟悉的人物,例如理查德·布蘭森或馬克·扎克伯格。或者,它可以是更私人的人,例如,榜樣可能是個人生活中的某個人,比如家人或朋友。根據Gibson關于榜樣的理論,該理論表明,個人被那些在特征、行為或目標方面被認為相似的榜樣所吸引(角色方面),并且他們能夠從中學習某些能力或技能(榜樣方面)。
Role identification can be a rational response to an individual’s belief that the other person’s characteristics are close to their own motives and character. Witt (1991) argues that role identification may result in the individual forming or adapting their preferences, it can also result in imitative behaviour. Whilst Krumboltz et al, (1976) say it may provide individuals with the motivation and inspiration to choose a direction, activity or career path.
角色認同可以是對個人認為他人的特征與自己的動機和性格接近的理性回應。Witt認為,角色認同可能導致個體形成或適應自己的偏好,也可能導致模仿行為。Krumboltz等人表示,這可能會為個人提供選擇方向、活動或職業道路的動力和靈感。
Bandura’s (1977) Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) says that individuals are attracted to role models who can help them to develop by learning new tasks and skills (Gibson, 2004). People learn through example and when individuals observe people who excel in an area, and with whom they can identify, this can be an enhancing experience. Role models can also provide practical support and advice through a mentor mentee relationship.
Bandura的社會認知職業理論指出,個人被榜樣所吸引,這些榜樣可以通過學習新的任務和技能來幫助他們發展。人們通過榜樣學習,當個人觀察到在某個領域表現出色的人,以及他們可以認同的人時,這可能是一種增強體驗。榜樣還可以通過導師-學員關系提供實際的支持和建議。
Empirical evidence suggests that individuals and the role models they chose tend to be similar in terms of gender and race (Hernandez, 1995, and Ruef et al., 2003). Homophile is the tendency of individuals to associate with and bond with similar people, this guides many relationships (McPherson, Smith-Lovin, & Cook, 2001). Evidence of gender homophile has been found in various contexts, such as large and voluntary organisations (McPherson & Smith-Lovin, 1987).
本篇assignment通過經驗證據表明,個人和他們選擇的榜樣在性別和種族方面往往相似。同性戀是指個人與相似的人交往和建立聯系的傾向,這指導了許多關系。在各種背景下,如大型和志愿組織中,都發現了性別戀童癖的證據。
Role models provide living evidence that goals are achievable. The identification of, and comparison with suitable role models like Gina O’Reilly and Norah Casey can help me to define my sense of self and enhance my self-efficacy to engage in the complex and often changing world of business. This is maybe one of the most crucial aspects on the path of self-improvement.
榜樣為實現目標提供了活生生的證據。識別并與Gina O'Reilly和Norah Casey等合適的榜樣進行比較,可以幫助我定義自我意識,增強自我效能感,以參與復雜且經常變化的商業世界。這也許是自我完善道路上最關鍵的方面之一。
In a previous assignment, I looked at SCCT and how it focuses on an individual’s environment and behaviours, as these are contributing factors in career development and influence actions and attainments. The theory has also been identified as useful in understanding and responding to career development for groups dealing with oppression, such as gay or lesbian (Morrow, Gore, & Campbell, 1996). I identified that I had issues with self-efficacy having been in an abusive relationship for many years. At times, I find it hard to leave my comfort zone and doubt my abilities. By applying Gibson’s (2004) theory that individuals are drawn to role models who are perceived to be similar in terms of their characteristics, behaviour or goals (the role aspect), and from whom they can learn certain abilities or skills (the model aspect) I can use a role model to motivate myself and overcome my fears.
在之前的一項assignment中,我研究了SCCT,以及它如何關注個人的環境和行為,因為這些都是職業發展的促成因素,并影響行動和成就。該理論也被認為有助于理解和應對同性戀等受壓迫群體的職業發展。我發現我在多年的虐待關系中存在自我效能問題。有時,我發現很難離開自己的舒適區,懷疑自己的能力。通過應用Gibson的理論,即個人被認為在特征、行為或目標方面相似的榜樣所吸引(角色方面),并且他們可以從中學習某些能力或技能(榜樣方面),我可以利用榜樣來激勵自己,克服恐懼。
There are opportunities to learn from a role model (through example or support) and the learning is likely to increase when the role model has experience or is better qualified than the role model ‘user’. A role model also often has a higher hierarchical position. A McKinsey study published in 2012 found that over a half of the female respondents (61%) consider the absence of worthy role models to be a barrier for their professional development (this opinion is shared just by 31% of the male respondents) (Borisova and Sterkhova, 2012).
有機會向榜樣學習(通過榜樣或支持),當榜樣有經驗或比榜樣“用戶”更合格時,學習可能會增加。榜樣通常也有更高的等級地位。麥肯錫2012年發表的一項研究發現,超過一半的女性受訪者(61%)認為缺乏有價值的榜樣是他們職業發展的障礙(只有31%的男性受訪者同意這一觀點)。
When role models are selected from the entrepreneur’s network (instead of distant icons) they may be ‘strong ties’ such as friends or family members or ‘weak ties’ such as acquaintances, distant relatives or (former) colleagues and superiors (Granovetter, 1973). Weak tie networks are likely to fulfill a different function for the entrepreneur than strong tie networks, because the first provide access to new information and knowledge which may help entrepreneurs to explore new horizons and eventually expand the business, and the second (strong ties) may be more useful in providing mental and practical support (mentoring). Hence, we expect a relationship between role model function and network tie strength. We hypothesize the following:
To return to the Speizer (1981) quote I used earlier “professionals must have had one, been one, or be seeking one if they are to advance their career.”

本篇assignment提出當從企業家的群體中選擇榜樣時(而不是遙遠的偶像),他們可能是“強關系”,如朋友或家人,也可能是“弱關系”,例如熟人、遠親或(前)同事和上級。弱聯系網絡可能比強聯系網絡為企業家提供不同的功能,因為第一種聯系網絡提供了獲取新信息和知識的途徑,這可能有助于企業家探索新的視野并最終擴大業務,而第二種聯系網絡(強聯系)可能在提供心理和實踐支持(輔導)方面更有用。因此,我們期望榜樣功能和網絡紐帶強度之間存在關系。
