The two survey answers seem unrelated to me. I say this because you can love your job without being praised. Everyone wants to feel appreciated and receive recognition, but if you truly love what you’re doing do you really need to be praised for everything that you do? Obviously one needs recognition in order to move up in their career path, however, if you want to discuss job satisfaction than the criteria should really be focused on, do you enjoy what you’re doing? Not, does your boss like what you are doing? It is for that reason that I believe the two survey answers you presented have no correlation.
