Conscious or Indifferent - Concerns on Digitalization and Sustainability of the Military Higher Education Institution

Abstract

Abstract University sustainability is a topical concept, which tries through complex approaches regarding the integration of the valences of the economic - social - environment, to create a new strategic model of adapting the organization to the environment and to a context characterized by change, dynamism, and innovation. Achieving sustainability at university level involves identifying methods and tools to underpin development strategies and through which the objectives specific to the functioning of each organization can be achieved. In an era marked by the intensification of the use of technology and digitalization of systems and processes used at the organization level, the question arises about the opportunity of digitizing them as a prospect of achieving sustainability at the organization level. Starting from this reality, the present paper aims to identify the extent to which at the level of a military university the valences of sustainability are known and harnessed in the processes taking place at its level. In this regard, a quantitative analysis was conducted, based on the completion of a questionnaire, which aimed to assess the perception of students who are studying at the bachelor programs organized at “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy in Sibiu, regarding sustainability and digitalization at the level of the organization.
