It shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone that happy people make way better workers than angry and sad ones. Autonomy makes people happy, and on top of that experts usually know what they're doing, some even like their field and actually enjoy taking on challenges.

I think organizations of any type or size have a habit of discounting the power of spite aswell. You can do way worse than lose productivity, revolutions happen because people are unhappy.
