Abstract
Job commitment is the relative strength of civil servants in achieving the goals and mission of the Nigerian civil service. This study was carried out to determine the effect of Behavioural Rehearsal Techniques (BRT) on job commitment of junior civil servants in Oyo and Ogun states, Nigeria. The moderating effects were gender and motivational incentives. The pretest-posttest control group Quasi Experimental Research Design was adopted. The target pollution was 342 and sample size was 79. Three ministries in Oyo and Ogun states were randomly selected.  Consenting JCSs who had records of low commitment and scored below 50% in the screening instrument were randomly assigned to BRT (48) and control group (31). The instrument used were Job Commitment Screening Scale, Civil Service Job Commitment Questionnaire (r=0.82) and Behavioural Rehearsal Guide. The treatment lasted eight weeks. Data were analysed using simple percentages, mean and Analysis of covariance at 0.05 level of significance. The level of job commitment of the JCSs were affective (97.5%), continuance (96.2%) and normative (94.9%) commitments. There was a significant main effect of treatment on job commitment (F(1;79)=17.11; partial η2=.18). Participants in the BRT group had a higher postmean score (67.73) than those in the control (57.73) group. There was a significant main effect of incentives on job commitment (F(1;79)=6.32; partial η2=.08), but gender had none. The job commitment of junior civil servants was improved using behavioral rehearsal techniques. To increase civil servants' level of job commitment, behavioral rehearsal techniques must be frequently implemented, with sufficient attention given to motivational rewards.
