Abstract: The purpose of the present investigation was to explore how graduate students' research role identification influences their creativity as well as the roles of inclusive leadership and error management climate in moderating the relationship. Based on 411 full-time graduate students and their 62 supervisors' questionnaire, and through hierarchical linear model (HLM) method, our findings revealed that: (1) Graduate students' research role identification was positively related to research creativity; (2) Supervisors' inclusive leadership and team error management climate both enhanced the relationship between students' research role identification and research creativity; (3) Inclusive leadership had positive effect on team error management climate, and error management climate mediated the moderation effect of supervisors' inclusive leadership.

Key words: research role identification, inclusive leadership, error management climate, research creativity
