Construction and Optimization Path of Digital Literacy Index System for Securities Practitioners

The cultivation of digital literacy among securities practitioners plays a significant role in enhancing work efficiency, preventing financial risks, promoting business innovation, and elevating brand value. In constructing the indicator system, we adopted UNESCO's digital literacy framework as the theoretical foundation and incorporated specific guidance on digital literacy and skills from the Cyberspace Administration of China. This integration resulted in 28 indicators and a tailored digital literacy assessment framework for the securities industry. To evaluate the relative importance of these indicators, we explored the application of the entropy method for determining indicator weights. Leveraging the inherent characteristics and information content of the data itself, the entropy method enables objective and equitable weight allocation, thereby enhancing the accuracy and credibility of assessments. This study proposes optimization strategies for improving digital literacy among securities practitioners, including: formulating detailed training plans, implementing targeted digital literacy programs, conducting regular effectiveness evaluations, establishing incentive mechanisms and support systems, and refining the digital literacy framework.
