Different motives

Questions:

Does motive always determine the activity?
Or, does different people having different motives change the
activity system for each individual even if they physically are doing
the same thing?
Because people can have more than one motive while engaging in work
(e.g., survival, pleasure, social influence, etc.), can one person
with multiple motives doing the same thing be engaged in more than
one activity?
Given the difficulty of determining motive(s), how do we identify the
"real" activity?
