Elton Mayo was born in Australia and spent most of his first 42 years in that country. This article explores the Australian context in which he developed his views of industrial society. There are key differences between the political context of Australia compared with that of the United States during the time that Mayo developed his approach to psychology and the role of workers in industry. In addition, the social context in which Mayo established his career was shaped by significant political events in Australia. The construct of revery, which describes a specific state of consciousness, is central to Mayo's early theorizing and was developed by Mayo partly in reaction to political and industrial conflict occurring in Australia.
