English term or phrase: beyond want
The man who comes to the day's job feeling that no
matter how much he may give, it will not yield him enough of a return to keep him beyond want, is not in shape to do his day's work. He is anxious and worried, and it all reacts to the detriment of his work.

más allá del deseo


Explanation:
I think it makes sense to keep the translation literal.

"El hombre que viene al trabajo diario sintiendo que no importa cuanto pueda dar de si este no le dará suficiente rendimiento para mantenerlo más allá del deseo, no esta condición de hacer su trabajo diario. El esta ansioso y preocupado y todo le reacciona al perjuicio de su trabajo."

  -> thank you for your feedback but I think need and want are different, I can always want more than I need and that's what the original text is alluding to.
