Yes. A force acting on a body in the direction of its motion does work. The formula for work is W = F x d, where force(F) is in Newtons, distance(d) is in meters, and work(W) is in Newton*meters(N*m), or Joules(J). (1N*m = 1J)

A force acting on a body in the opposite direction to its motion does "negative work". It causes the moving body to slow down, the moving body loses kinetic energy, and that energy is absorbed by the source of the force.

Mathematically, the force and the distance it moves through have opposite directions, so the product of (force) x (distance) is a negative number: negative work.
