Abstract: Previously, many explorations have been conducted on the mediating role of pro-social motivation (PSM) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). However, theoretical arguments exist that affective commitment (AC) can mediate this relationship. This study is devised to fulfil the gap. It clarifies the relationship between (PSM) & (AC) and (OCB) in the light of women owner’s businesses in Sub-Saharan African Countries (SSAC). Accordingly, online questionnaires have been conducted on 485 woman entrepreneurs from seven SSAC operated businesses in three sectors. A structural model has been used to test the relationships between variables. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used through Descriptive Statistical Analysis using SEM software AMOS version 23. The results showed that PSM has a relationship with OCB. Second, it proves that PSM played a mediator role on AC and shows that AC & OCB mediate.
