If the motivation or attitude is selfless & beneficent - yes; if not, then no. See chapter 11 of the Avatamsaka Sutra for examples of good motivation applied to ordinary actions.

If I do my actions with right attitude and right mind I can create positive karma. Is this correct in Buddhist thought?
