Solution 1

Put the same department id query in the location where you have put dept.
What you will basically be doing is using a subquery.

There are few ways to achieve that:

using variable

SQL

DECLARE @dep INT
SELECT @dep = department_id 
FROM departments 
WHERE manager_id=200;
INSERT INTO employees(dept_id, last_name, hire_date, job_id, email)
VALUES(@dep,'a',sysdate,'1','www')

using stored procedure[^]

SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE InsertNewEmployee
    @manid INT,
    @lname VARCHAR(50),
    @jobid INT,
    @email VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @dept INT
    SELECT @dept = COALESCE(department_id,0)
    FROM departments
    WHERE manager_id = @manid

    IF @dept >0 
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO employees(dept_id, last_name, hire_date, job_id, email)
        VALUES(@dept,@lname,sysdate(),@jobid,@email)
    ELSE
        PRINT 'Unknown manager!'
    END

END
