Abstract

Population ageing has become one of the most significant social transformations in the 21st century. All world’s countries are trying to do something to cope with this growing problem. However, those kinds of seniors’ care that only provide the physical and safety needs, excluding mental and spiritual needs. The mechanism of seniors’ active-spiritual care (SASC) for the promotion of social development by seniors has not yet been established. Because the seniors who are still energetic after retirement are eager to contribute society. This paper aims to explore the relationship between social achievement motivation, perceived social risk, individual social capital, perceived social value, knowledge-sharing intention, and social re-engagement intention of energetic seniors from the perspective of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Partial least squares method was used to analysis 750 valid personnel interview questionnaires from residents over 60 years old. The results showed that energetic seniors’ social re-engagement intention is directly determined by their perceived social value and knowledge-sharing intention, which are in turn directly determined by their individual social capital, social achievement motivation and perceived social risk. Finally, the SASC model may provide another corresponding theoretical and practical management reference for seniors’ care service.
