I would assume all this is highly specific to environment, just as much as the individual. Have you worked in an environment where nobody cares whether you do a good job, and success and quality are not recognized? You start to define your own success, which may be very different from what the business actually needs.

Obviously, working in an environment where you are not appreciated would make you feel bad. If you think praise is going to make the difference for your employee between being appreciated and not, that is insulting.

Celebration is important. But praise is cheap. Maybe some managers think its okay to just say "great job" + more praise, and then implicitly say next piece of work please, but I don't think it is.
