I recommend this structure:
2.4 Perceived Supervisor Support
2.4.1 Definition of Perceived Supervisor Support ✅ (completed)
2.4.2 Social Exchange Theory
2.4.3 Perceived Supervisor Support and Employee Performance
2.4.4 Aspects of Perceived Supervisor Support
2.4.5 Perceived Supervisor Support as a Mediating Variable
Notice the flow:
What PSS is → Why it works (theory) → Evidence that it works → What supportive supervisors actually do → Why PSS mediates your model.
That is the order most examiners expect.

One recommendation for your overall thesis: I think your Chapter 2 is beginning to show a clear narrative. You started with technological transformation, moved to employee performance, and now to Perceived Supervisor Support.
The next step is to write Section 2.5 Organizational Factors in a way that naturally connects to PSS. That connection will make your mediation model feel like a logical progression rather than a set of separate variables, which is exactly what examiners tend to appreciate in a DBA literature review.
