- Annotation: This article examines the dynamics of attitudes toward money among young professionals in a work environment characterized by high information overload, multitasking, and the need to integrate into complex digital processes, driven by modern trends in the digitalization of work and increased demands on cognitive resilience. The key idea of the study is to identify patterns in the changing money attitudes and motivational characteristics of young employees at different stages of professional development. The challenge of adapting young professionals to such a neuro-ergonomic environment is associated with the risk of emotional burnout, insufficient self-regulation strategies, and a pronounced need for stable motivational benchmarks, which manifests itself in financial behavior, risk perception, and understanding of the role of money as part of personal and professional identity. An empirical study conducted on a sample of Russian professionals revealed differences in psychological characteristics and attitudes toward money at the stages of organizational and professional adaptation. The methods used revealed that instrumental-oriented and protective-consumer motivation predominates in the early stages of professional development, accompanied by pronounced financial stress, a focus on quick and guaranteed rewards, as well as a tendency toward social comparison and increased anxiety. With increasing professional experience, the emphasis shifts to an integrative and rational perception of money, the development of long-term planning skills, independence, and increased professional self-esteem. The study deepened the scientific understanding of the socio-psychological mechanisms of financial decisions and emphasized the importance of an integrated approach to developing professional competence in a neuroergonomic environment.
