代写assignment范例：Female Empowerment in Business

代写assignment范例-企业中的女性赋权。本文是一篇由本站提供的assignment写作范例，主要内容是讲述2017年3月9日，作者参加了爱尔兰企业与爱尔兰银行和DCU联合举办的一场关于女性领导力和成长抱负的活动。它在都柏林大学绿地的议会大厦举行。Assignment提到这次演讲是2017年企业周的一部分，旨在纪念国际妇女节。

本篇assignment的作者之所以选择参加这项活动，是因为作者描述的五位女性都是榜样。榜样给了我们希望，有机会看到这么多成功的女性谈论领导力、抱负和自己的个人职业生涯给了我希望，因为作者即将结束学业，进入商界。下面就一起来看一下这篇assignment写作范文的具体内容。

On March 9th 2017, I attended an event run by Enterprise Ireland (EI) in conjunction with Bank of Ireland and DCU on Female Leadership and Growing Ambition. It was held in the Houses of Parliament on College Green, Dublin. The talk was part of Enterprise Week 2017 and was scheduled to mark International Women’s Day.

“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

“作为女性，我们必须捍卫自己。我们必须捍卫彼此。我们必须为所有人伸张正义”-米歇尔·奥巴马

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!”

听到他们的职业发展有助于减少我个人对失败的担忧。作为个人，我们的榜样离我们越近，他们的影响力就越大。最好的榜样是那些成功的普通人。有机会了解成功人士如何克服障碍的细节意义重大，因为这使我们能够对自己说：“某个人在那种情况下，他们成功了，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.”

当榜样发挥作用时，他们可以为我们提供一系列好处。例如，它们可以为我们的生活提供一个模式，并达到我们生活中想要达到的目标。Speizer说：“如果专业人士要推进他们的职业生涯，他们必须有一个，曾经是一个，或者正在寻找一个。”

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 people… 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将榜样描述为“拥有演员所缺乏的技能和技巧……通过观察和与自己的表演进行比较，演员可以从中学习”的个人。Gibson指出，“‘榜样’一词借鉴了两个突出的理论结构：角色的概念和个人认同他人的倾向，以及建模的概念，即一个人和观察者之间认知技能和行为模式的心理匹配”。组织行为和职业理论家认为，认同榜样对个人成长和发展至关重要。敦促个人寻求能够帮助他们实现目标的榜样。Douvan断言，榜样对职业发展可能很重要，“但我们必须相信这一点，因为除了学前儿童之外，识别和建模还没有得到系统的研究。”近20年后，几乎没有什么变化，Javidan等人同样认为，“对榜样的实证研究很少，对是什么促使个人被视为成功的榜样知之甚少。”

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).

榜样可能是个人不熟悉的人物，例如理查德·布兰森或马克·扎克伯格。或者，它可以是更私人的人，例如，榜样可能是个人生活中的某个人，比如家人或朋友。根据Gibson关于榜样的理论，该理论表明，个人被那些在特征、行为或目标方面被认为相似的榜样所吸引（角色方面），并且他们能够从中学习某些能力或技能（榜样方面）。

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.

角色认同可以是对个人认为他人的特征与自己的动机和性格接近的理性回应。Witt认为，角色认同可能导致个体形成或适应自己的偏好，也可能导致模仿行为。Krumboltz等人表示，这可能会为个人提供选择方向、活动或职业道路的动力和灵感。

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的社会认知职业理论指出，个人被榜样所吸引，这些榜样可以通过学习新的任务和技能来帮助他们发展。人们通过榜样学习，当个人观察到在某个领域表现出色的人，以及他们可以认同的人时，这可能是一种增强体验。榜样还可以通过导师-学员关系提供实际的支持和建议。

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通过经验证据表明，个人和他们选择的榜样在性别和种族方面往往相似。同性恋是指个人与相似的人交往和建立联系的倾向，这指导了许多关系。在各种背景下，如大型和志愿组织中，都发现了性别恋童癖的证据。

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.

榜样为实现目标提供了活生生的证据。识别并与Gina O'Reilly和Norah Casey等合适的榜样进行比较，可以帮助我定义自我意识，增强自我效能感，以参与复杂且经常变化的商业世界。这也许是自我完善道路上最关键的方面之一。

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.

在之前的一项assignment中，我研究了SCCT，以及它如何关注个人的环境和行为，因为这些都是职业发展的促成因素，并影响行动和成就。该理论也被认为有助于理解和应对同性恋等受压迫群体的职业发展。我发现我在多年的虐待关系中存在自我效能问题。有时，我发现很难离开自己的舒适区，怀疑自己的能力。通过应用Gibson的理论，即个人被认为在特征、行为或目标方面相似的榜样所吸引（角色方面），并且他们可以从中学习某些能力或技能（榜样方面），我可以利用榜样来激励自己，克服恐惧。

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).

有机会向榜样学习（通过榜样或支持），当榜样有经验或比榜样“用户”更合格时，学习可能会增加。榜样通常也有更高的等级地位。麦肯锡2012年发表的一项研究发现，超过一半的女性受访者（61%）认为缺乏有价值的榜样是他们职业发展的障碍（只有31%的男性受访者同意这一观点）。

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提出当从企业家的群体中选择榜样时（而不是遥远的偶像），他们可能是“强关系”，如朋友或家人，也可能是“弱关系”，例如熟人、远亲或（前）同事和上级。弱联系网络可能比强联系网络为企业家提供不同的功能，因为第一种联系网络提供了获取新信息和知识的途径，这可能有助于企业家探索新的视野并最终扩大业务，而第二种联系网络（强联系）可能在提供心理和实践支持（辅导）方面更有用。因此，我们期望榜样功能和网络纽带强度之间存在关系。
