I don't think it worked that way in SE3...
The mood of the population was unimportant until they started rioting.
You could force them to work at 140% whenever you wanted, and they would simply get angrier.

You're right that it worked differently, but if you had the SE3 Version of an urban pacification center, you could run the planet at 140% production almost indefinitely without it rioting. I think the anger would creep up very slowly. Without the control centers anger would fly up if you tried running at maximum production and it'd take ages to come back down again.

I love these 'work harder, you bloody peasants' facilities.
