ABSTRACT: In the knowledge economy era, R&D personnel in high-tech enterprises are the core force for the innovative development of enterprises, and their incentive effects are directly related to the competitiveness and sustainable development of enterprises. Traditional compensation models often focus on economic returns and fail to fully cover the diverse needs of R&D personnel, leading to increasingly prominent problems such as insufficient incentives and brain drain. The comprehensive compensation system, as a modern management model that integrates economic and non-economic, short-term and long-term incentives, provides a systematic solution for the incentives of R&D personnel in high-tech enterprises. This paper explores the suitability and implementation path of the comprehensive compensation system by analyzing the compensation characteristics and management dilemmas of R&D personnel in high-tech enterprises. The research shows that a comprehensive compensation system can effectively respond to the multi-level needs of R&D personnel in terms of compensation equity, career development, work autonomy and spiritual identity, and its successful implementation is based on strategic synergy, dynamic adaptation and institutional guarantee. Finally, this paper presents management insights from aspects such as system design, cultural support and continuous optimization, with the aim of providing theoretical references and practical guidance for high-tech enterprises to build efficient and sustainable incentive mechanisms for R&D personnel.
