Abstract
With the advent of an aging society, enterprises face new challenges in managing senior employees. Due to changes in physiological, psychological, and social factors, senior employees exhibit significant shifts in work attitudes, capabilities, and needs. Consequently, there is an urgent need to explore adaptive and effective management strategies and re-incentive mechanisms. This paper first analyzes the background of an aging society and its impact on enterprise management. It then reviews domestic and international research on the management and motivation of senior employees through a literature review. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the current status and challenges faced by senior employees in enterprises, this study proposes management strategies tailored to their individual characteristics and explores how re-incentive mechanisms can enhance their work motivation and organizational engagement. Through case studies, the paper summarizes successful and unsuccessful management experiences, ultimately offering enterprises practical recommendations for management strategies and incentive mechanisms. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for enterprises addressing the management of senior employees in the context of an aging society.
