I agree but look at this a little different. People use pay increase
promotions and all other forms of recognition. They are not motivated by
them but use them to decide what behavior is required to get what they
want. Some ant time off others recognition(which money can buy, still
others want to save for retirement and young ones want to take the family
on vacation. These different motivations can usually be translated into
money which is the reason we so often confuse money as the
motivator. People are motivated the real question is to do what?
