The concept of social mobility is one of the most important concepts that is related to a person’s social life and refers to the movement that people make by moving in different levels of the social hierarchy. Social mobility can provide conditions for better and more effective use of the talents of the members of a society and make it easier to perform social functions. Considering the importance of this concept in people’s social life, this article tries to use two different theoretical approaches including; The approach of modernization and the approach of social reproduction will study the existing dynamics in the field of stratification and social mobility in order to determine the social factors affecting social mobility in the city of Khoy. The study method in this research is quantitative and survey, and the data was collected using a questionnaire tool. The statistical population was all the household heads of Khoy city, 382 people were selected as a sample through Cochran’s formula. The sampling method is a multi-stage cluster and the data was analyzed using Spss software. The findings obtained from the linear regression test indicate that the economic capital variable of the family affects social mobility through the variables of social capital and cultural capital and work ethic. Also, the family’s cultural capital variable has an effect on social mobility through the individual’s cultural capital and work ethic. In general, the multiple regression of the research shows that the two variables of the individual’s cultural capital and the individual’s work ethic explain a total of 23% of the changes in the dependent variable. Also, of these two variables, according to the beta value of 0.29%, cultural capital has a greater impact on people’s social mobility than work ethics.

During recent decades, modernization process along with economic and social changes such as urbanization, rural migration, expansion of higher education, the creation of communication networks, jobs system change and so on has caused many social changes in the whole country, including northwest areas of it, and has created social mobility for groups of people. Considering the importance of studying social mobility and its implications in people's lives, the aim of this study was to examine the social mobility and its pattern in Khoy. Method of study was quantitative and survey and data have been collected using the questionnaire instrument. Population of study was all households of khoy city and 382 people were selected through Cochran's formula and by multistage cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Findings of objective dimension of social mobility show high levels of class and 68% and 49% of occupational reproduction. Also, Structural mobility represents high levels of mobility among current generation of agricultural jobs towards other jobs. This shows the impact of modernization at the intended region. The results show that the highest mobility both at the occupational and class level, relates to occupational and class reproduction and this is a very high degree of class mobility. As a result, we can say that in target population, occupational mobility is common but class mobility is limited and classes in different generations are reproduced somehow.

Possibility of free movement of individual and groups from one social status to another which is called social mobility and the possibility of movement of functionaries in the public sector from one status to a higher one which is called occupational mobility usually is faced with some obstacles and difficulties. One of main social and occupational mobility obstacle, which has had consequential effects on the inefficiency of the bureaucracy of the public sector and so on the social development as a whole, has been powerful groups presence in the organizations. These groups usually have rigid structure and are formed around well defined group interests and are penetrated in the sociopolitical structure of the organizations. The present article uncovers the roots of this phenomenon and helps to understand the functions of this group, which can be called caste-like group, and see its destructive negative impacts on the efficiency of governmental organizations.
