Abstrakt: The article presents a study regarding social representation of the individual and the company well being. The aim of the research presented here was to examine if the values of individualism were preserved under communism or not, whether there are some differences between generations or between individuals with different level of education. The results were discussed in relation to theory of social representation. The terms related to the individualism were expected to be judged more positively by younger than middle generation, by more than less educated persons. A shift toward stronger support of the individual values between judgment in 1993 and 1995 was expected too. In general, from the perspective of the well being of the individual, the terms related to the individualism obtained highest rank of support along with justice and peace. Judgment of personal responsibility differentiated the middle and young generation as well as respondents with higher and basic education. It was proved that individuals with higher level of education valued personal responsibility higher than those with basic education.
