raise doesn't always mean money. It's counterintuitive, but from my experience, it's more the act of being passed up or not cared about than the actual $$ count that matters.

Like, you might still make less money than you would elsewhere, but if your employer at least makes an effort, people are much happier.

I suspect that the key thing is making an employee feel valued or valuable (based upon the employee's motivations) rather than making them happier.

An employee that feels as though they are not valued by the company or feel as though they company does not feel that their contributions are valuable will probably see their job as insecure and will look for better opportunities.
