writers' room, showrunner, creative environmentsAbstract
The writers' room consists of a work environment in which professionals develop scripts, mainly for series. As creativity is influenced by the work environment, this article seeks to identify which and how the characteristics of a creative environment are placed, such as freedom, challenge and support from the boss, in the dynamics of scriptwriters' rooms. Narrative literature review is used. The role of the leader in this context is discussed and an attempt is made to initiate an investigation with the intention of understanding how the writers 'rooms can be managed in order to become positive influences on the writers' creativity.
