; . The values in the table are the standardized coefficients . Model1-Model6 represent the influence relationship model of independent variable transformational tutor style on the innovative behavior of dependent variable postgraduate students. Model7 represents the relationship model of the influence of the mediator variable creative self-efficacy on the dependent variable innovation behavior. Model8-Model13 represent the relationship between the independent variable transformational tutor style and the mediating variable creative self-efficacy. The above 13 models completely constitute the hierarchical regression analysis of the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable and the mediating effect of the mediating variable.
