Abstract This study examines the positive and negative consequences of the migration of specialists in three fields—technical and engineering, healthcare, and the humanities—across three specific organizations in the city of Mashhad. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the migration of specialists has led to decreased productivity and effectiveness, increased labor replacement costs, disruptions in knowledge transfer, reduced job satisfaction, and a growing desire to migrate among the remaining workforce. In addition, the perception of migration as a marker of success, declining organizational commitment, and the emergence of unstable work relations represent key cultural and institutional consequences of this phenomenon. However, in some cases, organizations have developed a degree of resilience by improving documentation practices and knowledge transfer systems. Overall, the results highlight the need to reassess human resource policies and strengthen intra-organizational capacities to address the consequences of migration.

Abstract The texts of the founders of sociology are intertextual, created in dialogue and debate with other texts. Classical and neoclassical economics texts are one of the most important texts that played role in the formation of sociology. The discussion of sociological texts with economic texts has sometimes been in the form of adaptation and sometimes critical, but this view of textually has been discussed inadequately after classical sociologists. Using the intertextuality method, this article shows how the classic sociology have faced the economics texts in terms of the two components of anthropology and analysis style. Sometimes the textually and dialogue of the texts is explicit and clear and sometimes it is hidden and not announced. The adaptive and critical dialogue of the founders of sociology with the founders of classical and neoclassical economics also shows the differences in the way of looking at human beings and the style of analysis.
