Task organization, human capital, and wages in Moroccan exporting firms [Ressource électronique] / Christophe Muller & Christophe J. Nordman

Notes bibliogr.

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
