To explore the effects of organisational orientation in predicting employee unethical pro‐organisational behaviour (UPB), this meta‐analysis classified organisational orientation into organisational attraction orientation (OAO) and organisational stress orientation (OSO). The meta‐analysis results of 410 studies with a total sample size of 140,808 indicate that OAO and OSO, respectively, have a significant positive effect on employee UPB. Structural equation modelling revealed that organisational identification significantly mediated the relationship between OAO and employee UPB, while moral disengagement significantly mediated the relationship between OSO and employee UPB. Organisational identification has stronger explanatory power for the relationship between OAO and UPB than moral disengagement, while moral disengagement has stronger explanatory power for the relationship between OSO and UPB than organisational identification. The moderating effects of indulgence culture and research design between OSO and UPB are significant. This paper contributes to the understanding of the complex mechanisms and boundary conditions of OAO and OSO on employee UPB.

Purpose: The proactive activities, as well as the traditional management mode of enterprises, have undergone profound changes in response to the wave of digital transformation. Consequently, understanding the impact of enterprise digitalization on employee taking charge and its underlying influence mechanisms has become a crucial topic for organizational researchers to explore. Taking a self-determination perspective, this study aims to investigate the mechanism through which enterprise digitalization influences employee taking charge.Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this objective, using multi-level structural equation model and bootstrapping, the study collected multi-source data from 358 samples from 30 technology enterprises.Findings: These results reveal that enterprise digitalization exerts a significant positive effect on employee taking charge via three parallel mediators of job autonomy, self-efficacy and closeness with companions.Originality/value: Overall, the study expands upon the relationship between enterprise digitalization and employee challenge behaviors while offering valuable insights for implementing enterprise digitalization initiatives and facilitating employees' absorption of digitized practices.
