Abstract: This paper discusses current trends in the balance between work and family and the personal identity. Submitted results were obtained from the interviews with 60 people over the age of 18 with the method of depth interview. The results demonstrate that maintaining the personal identity is very important for saving the balance work - family. The personal identity is influenced by age, gender, health and values. In the balance between work and family, the personal identity in the life cycle is shifting from the career in youth and adulthood, to the family in later age stages.Although, for the women the maintaining of the balance work - family is more complicated. Their strong and clear identity with the family is supporting the career development. The family identity is a leading and determining factor of the professional identity. If in the family everything is okay, then in the work place everything is okay. The results will be useful for all who are interested in the issues of the identity - for psychologists, for managers and for family members.
