Gabe,
Recognition at the company annual meeting would also be considered a motivation agent according to Herzberg. In fact, recognition for achievement scores higher on the list of motivators than responsibility.

Good point, Gary. I’ll adjust the question to make it more specific since the “recognition” I intended to address is related to status, not achievement.
