This is interesting and matches what I’ve been working on for years now (i.e. “emotional needs” and workplace performance).

How Emotional Satisfaction (not "Happiness") Improves Students' Grades

I’m not sure where to start with the above title….is happiness not key to high performance? Well, kind of. As you may know I have done, and am in the middle of, research into emotional needs in the workplace and how this impacts performance. Our base theory (based on others’ theories and research) is that improving emotional needs is the key to improving mental (and physical) health, life satisfaction, and also performance.
