The transformed measures of difference for each of the six HRM practices are
shown in Table 2. Taking, for example, Time Off, we note that Transformed
Difference from Parent has a score of 2.09, whereas Transformed Difference
from Local has a score of 1.16. The difference between these scores is
positive (2.09-1.16=.93), meaning that affiliate Time Off practices much
more closely resemble those of local firms than those of the parent. The
third column shows the probability at which we can reject the null hypothesis
that the difference between scores is zero. For Time Off, the difference
between scores is .93, and the null hypothesis can be rejected at p
