<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="is">Viðfangsefni þessarar rannsóknar snýr að sjálfsafgreiðslukössum í íslenskum matvöruverslunum, innleiðingu þeirra og áhrifum á neytendur. Rannsakað var hvert viðhorf íslenskra neytenda er til sjálfsafgreiðslukassa í íslenskum matvöruverslunum og niðurstöður bornar saman við fræðin og frumheimildir. Rannsóknin skilgreinist sem blönduð, þar sem um ræðir bæði megindlegar og eigindlegar rannsóknaraðferðir. Spurningakönnun var lögð fyrir íslenska neytendur ásamt því að tekið var viðtal við forsvarsmann matvöruverslunarkeðju sem sá um innleiðingu sjálfsafgreiðslulausna í verslunum þeirra. Rannsóknarspurningarnar sem leitast var eftir að svara voru eftirfarandi: &#xd;
Hvert er viðhorf neytenda til sjálfsafgreiðslukassa í matvöruverslunum?&#xd;
Hvaða þættir stuðla að jákvæðri upplifun neytenda á sjálfsafgreiðslukerfum?&#xd;
Fræðilegur bakgrunnur rannsóknarinnar tekur fyrir fræðagrunn sem tengist beint úrvinnslu rannsóknar og niðurstaðna. Í honum má finna umfjöllun um þjónustu, einkenni þjónustu, stafrænar lausnir, vegferð neytenda og upplýsingar um matvöruverslanir á Íslandi og markaðsumhverfi þeirra. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar eru settar fram með þemagreiningu á rannsóknarviðtali, myndrænni aðferð og lýsandi tölfræði.&#xd;
Helstu niðurstöður eru þær að viðhorf íslenskra neytenda til sjálfsafgreiðslukassa er að mestu leyti hlutlaust, en ef neytandi hefur skoðun er hún annaðhvort mjög jákvæð eða mjög neikvæð. Meirihluti neytenda þykir það hafa jákvæð áhrif á upplifun sína ef matvöruverslanir bjóða upp á sjálfsafgreiðslulausn, með sýnilegum starfsmanni og því vali að geta farið á þjónustukassa frekar en að nota sjálfsafgreiðslu.</dim:field>
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">The subject of this thesis is to analyze self-service checkout counters in Icelandic grocery stores, their implementation and subsequent effect on Icelandic consumers. A quantitative research method was used to deduce the average Icelandic consumers attitude towards self-service checkout counters in Icelandic grocery stores and the results compared to theory and source material gained from a qualitative research interview with a field expert. The thesis is therefore categorized as a mixed method research report as it contains research methods of both quantitative and qualitative nature. This thesis contains two research questions, which are as follows: &#xd;
What is the Icelandic consumers attitude towards self-service checkout counters in Icelandic grocery stores?&#xd;
What factors promote a positive experience for consumers in the use of self-service solutions?&#xd;
The theoretical background is based on existing academic studies and research on the subject which directly pertain to the processing of research data and their findings. The theoretical background includes concepts and terms such as service and its traits, digital transformation, customer journey and information regarding grocery stores in Iceland and its market environment. The research results are presented by theme coding, graphical and descriptive statistical data.&#xd;
The research concludes that the average Icelandic consumer has a neutral attitude towards self-service checkouts, and if not, the attitude is either rather skewed towards the negative or positive. Consumers are uniform in the opinion that it promotes a positive service experience for them if a grocery store has the option of a self-service checkout area with a visible employee present, and the option to choose between said self-service checkout or an employee serviced checkout.</dim:field>
