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
