No.

Work is transferred energy. When you do work, you are transferring energy.

If the force is constant over time:

Work = F*d*cos(theta)

where F = force

d = distance object travels over the time the force is applied

theta = angle between force and the displacement of the object

The only component of the force that can do work is the component of the force that is parallel to the displacement.
