Overall, the work performance of employees aged 18 to 30 was significantly influenced by opportunities for personal development. In addition to this, a relaxed working environment and promotion prospects also played a substantial role. However, for the 45 to 60 years of age group, money and team spirit are the major factors.
Regarding the graph, for workers aged 18 to 30, factors such as opportunities for personal growth, a relaxed working environment, and promotion prospects significantly impacted their work performance, by 90%, 80%, and 80%, respectively. In contrast, for those aged 45 to 60, the corresponding figures were 40%, 30%, and 50%.

Furthermore, in both age groups, money influenced work performance by 70%. Approximately 50% of performance was affected by team spirit, boss competency, and job satisfaction. Finally, respect from colleagues and the work environment impacted performance by 40% and 30%, respectively, in both age groups.
