try this
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('department', 'users.department_id', '=', 'department.id')
->select('users.*', 'department.name as dept_name')
->paginate(2);

Answer 2

Use like this
#foreach ($users as $user)
<tr>
<td>{{ $user->id }}</td>
<td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">{{ $user->dept_name }}<a></td>
<td>{{ $user->dept_name }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->name }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->links }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
OR
{{$users[0]->links()}}
