Answer:
Your sentence “He was praised for his work” is in the passive voice for several reasons:
The subject (“He”) is receiving the action; he is not doing it.
The verb includes a form of “to be” before the main verb to make it passive (“was praised”).
The person doing the action of praising is unknown and is not the subject. This person is not mentioned in the sentence, but if he were, it would be with the preposition “by” (e.g., “by his boss”) as in “He was praised by the boss for the work.”
