Photoelectric What is the difference between the photoelectric effect and Secondarysecondary emission?

What is the difference between photoelectric effectphotoelectric effect and secondary emissionsecondary emission in photo multiplier tubesphoto multiplier tubes? In other words, why the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the material (in photoelectric effect) turns into kinetic energy to the released electron, while this is not the case in secondary emission ?
