Autonomy, mastery and purpose. Sounds a lot like the kind of therapy I do...existential psychotherapy.

Also fits in nicely with dissonance theory. When I'm paid to do something I like to do, I'm less motivated by money and much more motivated by my own sense of purpose. Therefore, and in general, there is an inverse relationship between financial rewards and productivity. Being paid for what I like to do creates emotional discomfort. I'm more likely to be productive, more creative and more efficient by being given an opportunity to do what I like to do, free of charge, than I am when offered financial incentives to do the same thing.

Thanks for the link, TS.
