Pre-job loss grief reactions and work attachment among sick-listed employees: Introduction of the imminent Job Loss Scale.

Background: With this study, we aimed to explore the emotional experiences of sick-listed employees facing imminent job loss, as this emotional distress may hinder successful job search outcomes.
