Military personnel in high-stress environments face significant risks to their well-being, which can impair their crucial task performance. This study investigated the relationship between workplace flourishing and task performance within the Ghana Armed Forces. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 292 military personnel (from Second Lieutenant to Major and NCOs) stationed at the 37 Military Hospital via standardized scales: the Flourishing at Work Scale and the In-Role Performance Scale. The results revealed a significant positive correlation (*r* = .486, *p* < .01) and a predictive relationship (β = .339, *p* < .01), indicating that personnel who experience higher levels of holistic well-being—encompassing emotional, psychological, and social dimensions—demonstrate markedly better task performance. The findings underscore that fostering a flourishing work environment is a critical strategic component for enhancing operational effectiveness in military organizations
