A new workplace survey shows some managers are concerned about the effect that the Federal Government's WorkChoices legislation will have on workplace morale.
Most of the 300 upper and middle managers who participated in the research say many basic workplace conditions are under threat and should be protected by law.
The general manager of UMR Research, Bruce Dier, says more than 80 per cent of managers surveyed want four weeks of holidays guaranteed and unfair dismissal laws protected.
"There are threats to that morale and the threats to that morale are several," he said.
"Many are worried about jobs going offshore and not just manufacturing jobs, but a lot of service jobs, including some quite highly-skilled service jobs are going offshore.
"The work hours are getting longer and for most people they're longer than they actually want them to be."
