This study investigates the role and significance of independent Human Resource Management (HRM) departments within the context of Greek Local Government Organizations (LGOs). As public sector organizations face increasing pressure for modernization and efficient service delivery, the transition from traditional personnel administration to strategic HRM becomes critical. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a sample of 126 participants and the CRANET research tool, this study examines the relationship between organized HR functions and the adoption of modern practices. The findings suggest that municipalities with independent HRM departments demonstrate higher levels of strategic orientation, digital tool integration, and overall organizational performance.

This study investigates the current level of digital literacy among teachers at Guangxi Transportation Vocational and Technical College (GTVTC) and formulates corresponding development guidelines. In alignment with China's national policies on educational digitalization, such as the Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan and the Teacher Digital Literacy industry standard, the research addresses the urgent need for vocational educators to integrate technology effectively into pedagogy. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a questionnaire survey of teachers with structured interviews of key institutional informants. The findings reveal that teachers' digital literacy across five core dimensions—Technical Operational Skills, Information Search Skills, Digital Creativity Skills, Digital Social Responsibility Skills, and Digital Security Awareness Skills—is generally at a high level, though variations exist between dimensions. Based on the diagnostic results, this research proposes a set of structured, actionable development guidelines. These guidelines are designed to bridge the gap between national policy frameworks and institutional implementation, aiming to systematically enhance teachers' digital competence, foster innovative teaching practices, and ensure the ethical and secure use of technology, thereby supporting GTVTC's sustainable digital transformation.
