“…Looking also to sports psychology, the field from which vision interventions originated decades ago and which inspired research into vision in L2 motivation (Adolphs et al., ; Dörnyei et al., ), similarly raises questions about the centrality of vision in motivation and performance. In a recent meta‐analysis of the effects of mental imagery and vision interventions on biopsychological outcomes related to both performance restoration and performance optimization, Zach, Dobersek, Filho, Inglis, and Tenenbaum () reported that the effects of imagery interventions were all statistically nonsignificant. These researchers therefore argued that “much caution” (p. 85) is needed before making claims about the effectiveness of mental imagery.…”

Researchers have linked vivid mental imagery, particularly of the self in future states, to many desirable motivational outcomes for language learning. We report a preregistered conceptual replication and extension of You, Dörnyei, and Csizér (2016), who found a central motivational role for vision. We review essential considerations in structural equation modeling and discuss how the initial study addressed these, then describe a conceptual replication with a South Korean sample of secondary school learners of English (N = 1,297). Our analysis of the scales from the initial study in addition to second language achievement found support for an alternative model where the Intended Effort scale showed a better fit as a predictor of motivation than as an outcome variable. Our findings suggest the need for greater precision and rigor in structural equation modeling research on second language learning motivation and for more language researchers to take up replication and other open science initiatives.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore why some firms succeed while others flounder or fail to implement quality improvement programmes. It synthesises self-efficacy literature to propose a model of self-efficacy’s role in affecting implementation success of quality improvement programmes in organisations. Design/methodology/approach A review of scholarly articles on the topics of self-efficacy and quality initiatives brings to light self-efficacy’s role in successful quality programme implementation. When considered in the context of organisation barriers, it can lead to organisational success. Findings It is determined that quality training programmes play an important role in affecting existing efficacies and leading to “quality self-efficacy” in employees. The proposed model and related propositions suggest that right approaches of implementing quality training among certain types of employees and/or organisations can promote teamwork to achieve performance success. Research limitations/implications Moving forward, the proposed model should be empirically tested to improve our understanding of quality self-efficacy construct and its role in aiding organisational success. Furthermore, it would offer guidelines for the implementation of quality programmes in the most optimal way. Practical implications In applying theories on self-efficacy, motivation, empowerment, and quality training, the authors posit that existing efficacy and quality self-efficacy are crucial for quality implementation efforts to overcome organisational barriers and lead to effective teamwork and performance success. Social implications The authors postulate that deciding factors for organisational success originate from employees themselves as existing efficacies. Even though employees can foster quality self-efficacy through the implementation of quality improvement initiatives, existing self-efficacy, and organisation barriers will be moderating forces on eventual effectiveness of quality self-efficacy, teamwork, and organisational performance. Originality/value The model and related propositions, linking self- and collective efficacies to quality training, teamwork, and quality performance, offered in this paper will prove useful for organisational decision-makers in selecting quality programmes for implementation in organisation to achieve performance success.

“…Motor imagery (MI)-i.e., the mental representation of a physical action without overt body movement [11]-is effective in improving motor performance [12,13]. MI exerts beneficial effects on strength [13] and flexibility [14] in healthy adults; it reduces pain [15,16]; and it contributes to the rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease and stroke patients [17,18], though its effects on musculoskeletal patients are equivocal [19]. A recent metaanalysis showed that, when added to routine physical therapy (RPT) in post-injury rehabilitation, MI does not elicit greater benefits on functional mobility, perceived pain, and self-efficiency than RPT alone [19].…”

Home-based motor imagery intervention improves functional performance following total knee arthroplasty in the short term: a randomized controlled trial

Background Motor imagery (MI) is effective in improving motor performance in the healthy asymptomatic adult population. However, its possible effects among older orthopaedic patients are still poorly investigated. Therefore, this study explored whether the addition of motor imagery to routine physical therapy reduces the deterioration of quadriceps muscle strength and voluntary activation (VA) as well as other variables related to motor performance in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Twenty-six patients scheduled for TKA were randomized to either MI practice combined with routine physical therapy group (MIp) or to a control group receiving physical therapy alone (CON). MIp consisted of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MViC) task: 15 min/day in the hospital, then 5 times/week in their homes for 4 weeks. MViC and VA of quadriceps muscle, knee flexion and extension range of motion, pain level, along with a Timed Up-and-Go Test (TUG) and self-reported measure of physical function (assessed using the Oxford Knee Score questionnaire [OKS]) were evaluated before (PRE) and 1 month after surgery (POST). Results Significantly better rehabilitation outcomes were evident on the operated leg for the MIp group compared to CON: at POST, the MIp showed lower strength decrease (p = 0.012, η2= 0.237) and unaltered VA, significantly greater than CON (p = 0.014, η2= 0.227). There were no significant differences in knee flexion and extension range of motion and pain level (p > 0.05). Further, MIp patients performed better in TUG (p < 0.001, η2= 0.471) and reported better OKS scores (p = 0.005, η2= 0.280). The non-operated leg showed no significant differences in any outcomes at POST (all p > 0.05). In addition, multiple linear regression analysis showed that failure of voluntary activation explained 47% of the quadriceps muscle strength loss, with no significant difference in perceived level of pain. Conclusion MI practice, when added to physical therapy, improves both objective and subjective measures of patients’ physical function after TKA, and facilitates transfer of MI strength task on functional mobility.
