Not a single source apart from the author's opinion, and I'm less than convinced by the argument. Recognition is necessary to a minimum degree, nno-one wants to work without ever a node or a thank you. If recognition matters more to someone in return to exceptional performance than financial incentive, I would go ahead and say that that person has ego issues. Plus too much recognition ends up being un sincere and in fact become counter productive. Money makes a difference. Money is what the business is about, and what I give you my time for. Not pitty, not trying to compensate for parental approval issues, not strokings to my ego. Money that I can then exchange for goods and services. > For the majority of us out there, having a lot of zeros in your bank account balance brings little satisfaction if no one else knows it. A nice vacation in Mexico with my family brings me a lot of satisfaction, and not because I tell my coworkers about it. (I won't quote any sources because we're talking opinions)
