Answer 1

QListWidget has a signal called itemClicked() that carries the item that you can use to get the associated text:

    # ...
    self.listWidget_DepartView.itemClicked.connect(self.on_clicked)
    # ...

def on_clicked(self, item):
    self.lineEdit_AddDepart.setText(item.text())

Another possible solution is to use the clicked() signal from QAbstractItemView since QListWidget inherits from that class.

    # ...
    self.listWidget_DepartView.clicked.connect(self.on_clicked)
    # ...

def on_clicked(self, index):
    self.lineEdit_AddDepart.setText(index.data())
