The article examines the problem of professional exhaustion among support specialists through the analysis of stable personal attitudes acting as hidden psychological factors that reduce professional resilience. Based on an analysis of Russian studies in the fields of occupational psychology, professional health psychology, and personality psychology, it is argued that the development of professional exhaustion is determined not only by external stressful conditions of professional activity, but also by the specific features of the specialist’s internal personality organization. The study considers such personal attitudes as the tendency to rescue others, excessive responsibility, fear of professional mistakes, the need to confirm one’s own significance through the professional role, and the striving for flawlessness. The author presents a conceptual model of professional exhaustion development through a system of personal attitudes and proposes a classification of occupational risks associated with the specific features of personal functioning in support specialists. The practical significance of considering these factors in the prevention of professional deformation and emotional exhaustion is demonstrated.
