Introduction Organizational commitment and job performance are among the most important organizational concepts that their role is very important in all aspects of an organization and training to improve these variables has always been the focus of managers. Despite of using training methods based on other approaches in psychology, the use of group training based on choice theory has been limited. The theory of choice is based on the psychology of internal control, and argued that human behaviors, emotions, and motivations are considered internal events. Responsibility training is based on choice theory and aims to teach people to adopt new behaviors to improve their unhappy relationships and satisfy their needs, and overall to increase their ability to control life effectively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group responsibility training based on the choice theory on organizational commitment and job performance. Method The pretest posttest control group desighn was used. The sample consisted of 40 employees, selected through stratified random sampling method from all engineers working in different engineering departments of Nargan Consulting Engineers Company. 40 employees were randomly assigned in two experimental and control groups. Allen and Meyer organizational commitment questionnaire including three emotional, continuance and normative components was used to measure the organizational commitment. Job performance was measured by Patterson job performance questionnaire. This questionnaire measures four components of job performance including sense of responsibility, discipline, cooperation and job improvement. After pre-test measurement, training was administered for the experimental group and then the post-test was performed. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA. Results The results of ANCOVA showed that the effect of training on organizational commitment (p < 0.001) and job performance (p < 0.012) were significant. Discussion In general, this study investigates the effectiveness of group responsibility training based on choice theory on organizational commitment and job performance.The results of this study confirmed the previous studies regarding the effectiveness of the theory of choice training on improving individuals' behavioral abilities and acceptance of work life responsibilities.
