Abstract: We conduct a case study of the linkages of task organization, human capital accumulation, and wages in Morocco, using matched worker–firm data for electrical–mechanical and textile-clothing industries. In order to integrate task organization into the interacting processes of workers' training and remunerations, we assume a recursive model, which is not rejected by our estimates: task organization influences on-the-job training (OJT) that affects wages. Beyond sector and gender determinants, assignment of workers to tasks and OJT is found to depend on former education and work experience in a broad sense. Meanwhile, participation in OJT is stimulated by being assigned to a team, especially of textile sector and for well-educated workers. Finally, task organization and OJT are found to effect wages.
