Summary/Abstract: The collision between family life and work represents a perpetual conflict zone in Bulgarian society; it is also an object of scholarly interest for researchers in different fields, including sociology. The article emphasizes three thematic aspects of the problem: the impacts of work on personal and family life, the impacts of personal and family life on work, and the degree of satisfaction of Bulgarians with the time they devote to work and to their personal lives. In order to study the continuous two-way interaction between the family (as a personal, intimate environment) and work (work and professional life as a field of public interrelations and interactions), the author has conducted secondary analysis of data from the Fifth Wave of the European Social Survey (Bulgaria). General conclusions are drawn, and recommendations are made as to regulating conflictive interaction in the family-work relationship.
