Morphology

reputational = reputation (transparent) = repute + ation + al

The adjective is transparently formed from 'reputation' plus the common adjectival suffix '-al'.

Etymology

Reputational comes from reputation, which comes from the Latin parts re- 'again' and putare 'to think', so a reputation is 'what people think about you'. That's why reputational means 'relating to that public image or how people see someone'.
