ABSTRACT
Between the middle of 1919 and the end of 1921 George Elton Mayo worked constantly on the task of establishing conditions for the scientific research into aspects of the new psychology and for putting that research into use. In September the trust announced continued support for fellowships in engineering, and grants in economics, biology, and applied chemistry, but nothing was offered for Mayo’s work. Mayo had time to work toward establishing conditions for scientific research on the application of the new medical psychology. In August 1920 Mayo had accompanied Thomas R. H. Matthewson to the Australasian Medical Congress in Brisbane, and, in the Section on Psychological Medicine, was the only discussant whose remarks were published. Although his reputation was growing Mayo was not satisfied with his career. Most of Mayo’s requests were granted, and for 1921 he was given various temporary lecturers.
