> Things like employee of the month and yearly bonuses exist

I thought they existed because it's cheaper to hand out worthless certificates and occasional one-off payments than actually increase employees' wages. Which is why "employee of the month" and other non-monetary rewards are popular minimum/low wage workplaces.

Agreed from me. I would be surprised if these things didn't exist before research into them happened. And then I would be further surprised if the research want just a post hoc justification of the idea.

I wouldn't be shocked to find out I am wrong. Just surprised.
