Question

I have seen many people who, when the chazan finishes the Kaddish and steps back, say 'Oseh Shalom' with him. Is there a source for this practice?

Answer

Shalom Rav

There is no significance in stepping with the shaliach tzibur.

What you have seen is practiced because there are people who, if they finish the silent prayer in the middle of Kaddish or during the repetition of the shaliach tzibur, wait to step back until the chazan finishes, so as not to interrupt the recitation of 'Oseh Shalom' during the shaliach tzibur's prayer, and then they say 'Oseh Shalom' with the chazan.
