1. Matches ability with higher positions:
According to Davis Moore, a major function of the stratification is to match the most able people with the most important position in the society.
2. Encourages hard work:
The main function of social stratification is to make the people of upper strata to work hard and to live up to their positions and status. Pearson argues that American society values the achievements and efficiency of individual and puts emphasis on hard work and productive activity within the economy.
Thus a successful business executive who has achieved the position through his own hard work ability gets encouraged to keep up the hard work and maintain his position in society. His example encourages others to work hard.
Social Stratification provides motivation for different positions, particularly those which carry higher statuses and rewards.
3. Social Stratification is natural and justified:
Social stratification is also justified on the ground that all positions do not involve same responsibilities. Those positions which have higher and more responsibilities should be given higher statuses and only then they can attract suitable individuals to occupy them.
We cannot justify an equal status to the prime minister and a secretary. Each position, therefore, has its own importance for society and according to this importance; it requires certain type of recognition.
