Davis and Moore's theory of social stratification, also known as the functionalist theory of social stratification, is one of the classical sociological explanations for why societies develop hierarchical structures. Their theory emerged in the mid-20th century and sought to explain the existence and persistence of inequality in all societies. According to Davis and Moore, stratification is a universal necessity and performs essential functions for the smooth operation of society. The basic propositions of their theory revolve around the ideas of role differentiation, functional importance, rewards, and motivation. One of the central propositions of Davis and Moore is that societies must ensure that the most functionally important positions are filled by the most qualified and capable individuals. They argue that different positions in society vary in terms of their functional significance and require varying degrees of talent, skill, and training. For example, positions such as surgeons, engineers, or political leaders require specialized abilities and knowledge that are not easily available. To ensure that these positions are occupied by individuals with the necessary competence, societies must offer differential rewards in terms of prestige, income, and power. These rewards act as incentives for individuals to invest time and effort in acquiring the skills necessary to perform these critical roles effectively. Another key proposition is that social stratification serves as a motivating mechanism.
