Nowadays, growing "virtualized" world has become a new reality facing public and private organizations alike. Virtual Workplace (VW) represents a paradigm shift for managers and policy makers intended to increase effectiveness of sustainable development policies. Despite the growing body of literature focusing on the topic of the Virtual Workplace in developed countries, to date there have been few theoretical and empirical studies about developing countries, especially the MENA region. This study was inspired by the research framework proposed by Fathy El Dessouky (2011) to investigate the relationship between the VW and the effectiveness of environmental sustainable development policies in public banking sector in Egypt. The research examined five well-known Egyptian commercial public sector banks which have taken serious steps towards ebanking system. A questionnaire with four set of closed-ended predetermined questions was distributed to a random sample of 500 employees at the top, middle and executive levels of management. ATLAS.ti software was used for the analysis of data. The research determined a number of conclusions and proposals regarding the VW, in particular to satisfy the requirements of environmental sustainable development policies in developing countries.
