The amount of work done on an object depends on the amount of force exerted on the object and the amount of distance the object moves. Work = Force x Distance According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on an object is dependent on the mass of the object, and its acceleration during the movement.
Either way, you do the same amount of work because you apply the same force (equal to your weight) through the same distance (the height of the stairs.) Power is work per time. That is, if you do the same amount of work in a shorter time, it takes more power.
