The study looks at how affective commitment and ethical leadership are related, as well as whether country culture may act as a moderator. To look at the relationships between factors, data was gathered through online questionnaires in African organizations. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between ethical leadership attributes and affective commitment, emphasizing the significance of traits like concern for sustainability, people-orientation, clear direction, integrity guidance, and power sharing. The study acknowledges potential cultural implications on how affective commitment and fairness relate to one another. The study's application highlights the value of ethical leadership in promoting employee loyalty and organizational effectiveness. To deepen our understanding of these links, future studies might focus on cultural dynamics and use longitudinal approaches. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of ethical leadership, affective commitment, and national culture within the African context, providing insights for organizations and leaders to enhance employee commitment and better leadership practices.engAfrican leadersEthical leadershipOrganizational commitmentNational cultureAffective commitmentmaster thesis203721934
