Actually recognition, praise, and schedule flexibility rank higher than money in many studies. If a person isn't fulfilled in their job, more money will only make them feel good for at most a few weeks. They still have the same job they hate. Do some web searches for these studies. I think Fredrick Taylor may be upset he wasted all that money for motivation, assuming that he applied his own theory.

I read a book a long ago called "The Greening of America" by Alan Greenberg. There it talks about how America used different types of personalities to accomplish its goals. There was a time when the hard knocking push hard cold and unemotional person was all that could get this country on the right path and headed forward. Sir Randolf Hearst was so mean it is said once he was bitten by a rattlesnake and the snake died. We would not be here now if it had not been for that type of person to do it. Offer a guy like that anything and anything is what he can do for you. Those times are passed now and we need a different type, one more altruistic and interested in giving it all back and taking as little or none as he can. A whole 'nother type of individual altogether.

On various surveys that have been taken of employees, money does not rank as the highest motivating factor although it's on the list. Other items such as interesting work and feeling involved rank higher.
When the same survey is given to employers as to what motivates employees, money ranks much higher than on the employee surveys.
The ONLY motivating factor? No way.
