ABSTRACT
Amidst rapid economic growth, heightened business competition highlights the imperative of addressing employees' job burnout in management. Several studies indicate that feeling trusted by supervisors carries both beneficial and adverse effects. Building on this, this study introduces work stress and psychological security as intermediary variables, creating a dual-mediation model to examine the influence of feeling trusted by supervisors on employees' job burnout. This study collected 523 valid questionnaires and utilized SPSS and AMOS for data analysis. The findings demonstrate that feeling trusted by supervisors markedly reduces employees' job burnout. Meanwhile, work stress and psychological security act as concurrent mediators in the relationship between feeling trusted by supervisors and employees' job burnout. Based on the review of theory and empirical analysis results, this study provides practical management recommendations and insights to reduce employees' job burnout.
