Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
 
It is permissible for one to pray on the carpet at work as long as there are no impurities on it. However, it is advisable that one does not pray directly on the carpet, rather he places a cloth on the carpet even if it be a thin one. Nevertheless, if one is confident that the room is far from any places of impurities, from which any impurity could have come, and is clean, he may pray on it. 
 
فإن كان يصلي على الأرض والنجاسة بقرب من مكان الصلاة جازت صلاته قليلة كانت أو كثيرة لأن شرط الجواز طهارة مكان الصلاة وقد وجد لكن المستحب أن يبعد عن موضع النجاسة تعظيما لأمر الصلاة.
(بدائع الصنائع، 1/ 237، ديوبند)
 
 تطهير النجاسة من بدن المصلي وثوبه والمكان الذي يصلي عليه واجب.
(الفتاوى العالمكيرية، 1/ 64، العلمية)
 
And Allah knows best
