職場秘籍：職場晉升真的男女平等嗎
A study shows a large gap in perceptions among the sexes in who has more opportunities for advancement -- men or women.
職場中男性與女性誰有更多的晉升機會？一項針對該話題的調研顯示，男士與女士對這個問題的看法存在著巨大的差異。
Earlier this month, consulting firm Bain & Co. surveyed 1,834 business professionals world-wide on gender parity in the workplace. The findings, which was presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, show that 90% and 85% of men and women, respectively, believe qualified applicants of either gender have the same shot at landing a junior-level position. Yet 81% of men said opportunities to move to middle management are gender neutral, compared with 52% of women. Similarly, 66% of men said promotions to the executive level are equally attainable by both sexes, versus 30% of women.
本月早些時候，貝恩咨詢公司（Bain & Co.）在全球范圍內開展了一項調研，對象是1834位職場人士，男女各半。調研結果在剛剛結束的瑞士達沃斯世界經濟論壇（World Economic Forum）上公布。這項結果顯示：90%的男士及85%的女士認為，男性女性得到初級職位的機會是均等的，只要你有足夠的能力；81%的男士認為，男性女性升任中級管理職位的機會也是均等的`，而女士中只有52%的人抱此想法；同樣，66%的男士認為升任主管級別的機會也是男女均等，而認同這一點的女士的比例只有30%。
In reality, women represent a much smaller portion of leadership roles in business. A December study from New York research concern Catalyst Inc. shows 3% of chief executive officers and 13.5% of executive-officer positions within Fortune 500 companies are women.
現實生活中，女性在領導崗位中所占比例是小于男性的。紐約研究機構Catalyst Inc.于去年12月份開展的一項調研顯示，財富五百強公司中，首席執行官以及行政主管中女性所占的比例分別為3%和13.5%。
Men's perceptions may be rosier than women's because they may be considering the long-term progress women have made in the workplace, says Ellen Galinsky, president of Families & Work Institute in New York. Men will 'say women have it a lot better than they did in the past,' she says. 'Women say, 'Yes, but there are a lot fewer of us and we had to give up a lot more to get there.''
紐約家庭與工作研究會（Families & Work Institute）會長愛倫•加林斯基（Ellen Galinsky）認為，男士們的觀點比女士們要樂觀，因為他們著眼的是長時期以來女性在職場所取得的進步。她說，男士們會說"女性現在的表現比過去強多了，女士們則說，沒錯，不過，我們的人數比男的少多了，而且要取得同樣的成就，我們的付出要比男性多得多"
Perceptions may play a role in women lagging behind men in advancing their careers, says Deborah M. Kolb, a professor specializing in women and leadership at Simmons School of Management in Boston. Ms. Kolb says studies have shown women are seen by bosses and colleagues -- men and women alike -- as being less capable of serving in leadership posts than men, despite evidence to the contrary. 'Women often get asked to take career detours . . . into areas like human resources,' she says. 'Men get asked to take on strategic-development activities.'
波士頓西蒙斯管理學院（Simmons School of Management）研究女性及領導力的黛博拉•科爾伯（Deborah M. Kolb）教授認為，女性在職業發展上落后于男性，大眾的成見也許也是有一定影響的。科爾伯教授表示，研究顯示，老板及同事──男女皆然──都認為女性在領導崗位上表現不如男性，盡管有證據顯示并非如此。她說，"在職場上，女性常常會被迫走些彎路，比如去做人力資源管理。男性則會派到跟戰略發展相關的工作。"
