Research studies consistently demonstrate the impact of job burnout on workplace performance. By establishing and justifying the association between job burnout and goal-focused leader behavior (i.e., supervisory performance is one of the key factors in achieving organizational goals), the goal of the study is to expand the literature concerning the interaction between job burnout and workplace performance that leads to organizational goals. Hypothesizing bottom-line mentality (BLM) also plays an important role in clarifying why there is a relationship between job burnout and supervisor bottom-line mentality (BLM). It is proposed exclusively that GFLB (goal-focused leader behavior) is related to job burnout when supervisory BLM mediates that relationship. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 and Smart-PLS (version 4.0.9.0) to determine how variables influence each other. PLS-SEM, the study assessed the relationship between the proposed theoretical model and 310 valid research questionnaires. Using validity and reliability assessments, the path model fits well with the quantitative data. Consequently, all hypotheses were supported, indicating the mediating role of the Supervisor's BLM.
