The approach to explaining variations in power structure and the current use of undimensional models of leadership structure are the major concerns here. This investigation attempts to overcome some of the problems associated with previous efforts by relating community structural variables to leadership arrangements, paying special attention to the results obtained when three alternative measures of reputational leadership-visibility, legitimacy and centralization-are used in two of communities. A factor analysis of community demographic and economic variables is used as the point of departure for identifying community dimensions and selecting indicators of each. Regression analysis is then used to test hypotheses suggested by previous research findings. The results from both samples of communities and the comparison of findings using the three leadership measures suggest (1) the inadequacy of unidimensional leadership structure conceptualizations, (2) the persistent problems of sampling and statistical analysis in the comparative analysis of community power and (3) the possibility that there are inherent limits to the explanatory power of the ecological approach
