The aim of this study was to examine if transformational leadership, transactional leadership, gender, educational level, income and age predict work motivation, referring to Herzberg?s motivation-hygiene theory. According to past research the factors above increase work motivation. The study was brought about with a survey based on the Multi Factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X), Herzberg?s motivation-hygiene theory and demographic items. The result showed that transformational leadership and age predicted the motivation factors. Transformational leadership also predicted the hygiene factors, nevertheless with minor correlation. Age, gender, income and educational level had no influence on the motivation- and hygiene factors. An interpretation of the result might be that transformational leadership contains factors that easily motivate employees while age has a greater importance when it comes to satisfaction and motivation than it has to dissatisfaction.
