Do you count financial reward under recognition? Lot of places are generous with non-financial recognition but stingy with the monetary recognition.

short answer: yes

it's recognition from the individual's perspective. think love languages. one person's recognition might be salary because they make $35,000/yr and another's isn't financial. they are doing this because retirement is boring.

in practice it is often a combination with different ratios.

as an employee it is advantageous to think about what makes you feel recognized and work with your manager on it. if it's monetary and they're stingy then your values won't align and you will be frustrated.
