Answer

Both are correct but have slightly different meanings. The first means that you must get faster at your job while the second means that you must do some type of work or activity faster.
To be honest I would use quicker rather than faster.

Answer

1. I've got to become faster at work. 
better:
2. I've got to become more efficient at work. 
3. I have to become faster at doing my work.

Answer

In the first sentence, the object is the noun 'work'. In the second, it's the 'to work', in the gerund form. It's the same as saying

'I've got to get quicker at maths.'
versus
'I've got to get quicker at doing maths.'
